Outline:
1. Structure and dynamics of a young shell SNR: What shapes the ejecta in the remnant phase
2. Typing and sub-typing SNRs: How to tell apart thermonuclear from core-collapse, and can we do more?
3. Toward a grid of SN-SNR models: Using …
Type Ia supernovae (SNe) are believed to mark the thermonuclear explosion of a white dwarf (WD), but the explosion mechanism is stil unclear. Recently a new theoretical model was proposed, for a binary WD, where the primary WD explodes via a double …
Visualization is an essential part of research, both to explore one’s data and to communicate one’s findings with others. Many data products in astronomy come in the form of multi-dimensional cubes, and since our brains are tuned for recognition in …
Recent progress in the simulation of supernovae (SNe) has shown the importance of turbulence and asymmetries in successful explosions, which prompts us to revisit the subsequent phase, the supernova remnant (SNR). Can we use the SNR morphology as a …
Supernova remnants (SNRs) are the outcome of supernovae (SNe, either core-collapse or thermonuclear). The remnant results from the interaction between the stellar ejecta and the ambient medium around the progenitor star. Young SNRs are characterized …
Within our Galaxy, supernova remnants are believed to be the major sources of cosmic rays up to the knee. However important questions remain regarding the share of the hadronic and leptonic components, and the fraction of the supernova energy …
