News from Group Prof. Zacharias News from Group Prof. Zwerger Obituary: Prof. Dr. Shawn Bishop (1971 - 2021) 2021-10-29 – The Physics Department mourns the untimely loss of Prof. Dr. Shawn Bishop. After a long and serious illness he passed away on 19 October 2021, just a few days before his 50th birthday. Can supernovae cause extinctions!? 2016-11-22 – Recently, the research group of Prof. Shawn Bishop have for the first time ever identified supernova ash in the Earth’s microfossil record. They found out that our earth moved through – or rather was bombarded by – the remnants of a supernova explosion, starting about 2.7 million years and lasting for about a million years. Now a Canadian radio programme has aired an extensive inteview with Shawn Bishop, which is available online. Additionally, a radio essay featuring this work via the “Academic Minute” has been broadcast in the US, and is also available online. Time-resolved detection of a supernova signal in Earth’s microfossils 2016-08-10 – Physicists from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have succeeded in detecting a time-resolved supernova signal in the Earth’s microfossil record. As the group of Prof. Shawn Bishop could show, the supernova signal was first detectable at a time starting about 2.7 Million years ago. According to the researcher’s analyses, our solar system spent one Million years to transit trough the remnants of a supernova. erste Seite 1–3 of 3 news articles last page
