Theoretical analysis of the properties of the cloud of stellar fragments (i.e., the ejecta) populating the innermost region of the supernova remnant SN 1987A reveals a highly asymmetric explosion, dominated by two bipolar jets. The complex physics governing the core collapse of a massive star and the subsequent supernova explosion can be uncovered through detailed analysis of the physical
Analysis of X-ray observations of the SN1987A supernova remnant, obtained by the XMM-Newton satellite, provides new insights into the interaction between the supernova shock wave and the circumstellar material, as well as the oxygen abundance in the remnant. The SN1987A supernova remnant is undoubtedly one of the most iconic objects for studying supernovae, their remnants, and the final stages
SN1987 A is one of the most significant objects for studying supernova explosions and their remnants. This is because it is the only core-collapse supernova that has occurred relatively close to us (approximately 170000 light-years away, in the Large Magellanic Cloud) in the modern epoch. Therefore, it is the sole object of this type for which we have telescope observations
SN1987A, located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, is an object of great importance for the study of supernovae and supernova remnants. In fact, it is the only supernova that has occurred recently and is close enough to allow us to obtain detailed observations across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. SN1987A was a core-collapse supernova, resulting from the collapse of the core
Without any doubts, the supernova remnants SN1987A is the one that taught us more about this class of objects and supernova exposions. Produced by a supernova exploded in the Large Magellanic Cloud on February 23rd 1987, this is the only case in which we have observations of the progenitor, of the supernova explosion, and in which we follow the development
SN1987A, the supernova exploded in the Large Magellanic Cloud (at about 170000 light years of distance) on February 23rd 1987, was an iconic event for the study of supernovae and supernova remnants. In fact, it is the only case where it was possible to observe (with telescopes) the explosion and to follow with periodic observations the evolution of the supernova
A supernova exploded on 1987 February 23rd in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. Being at a distance of “only” 170000 light years from us, this supernova, named SN 1987 A, is the closest supernova exploded in the modern era, and thus it is a template to understand the physics of supernova explosions and the
