Supernova Explosions in Winds and Bubbles, with Applications to Sn 1987a
نویسنده
چکیده
Massive stars can significantly modify the surrounding medium during their lifetime. When the stars explode as supernovae, the resulting shock wave expands within this modified medium and not within the interstellar medium. We explore the evolution of the medium around massive stars, and the expansion of the shock wave within this medium. We then apply these results to understanding the expansion of the shock wave in the ambient medium surrounding SN 1987A, and the evolution of the radio and X-ray emission in this case.

The Evolution of Supernovae in the Winds of Massive Stars
We study the evolution of supernova remnants in the circumstellar medium formed by mass loss from the progenitor star. The properties of this interaction are investigated, and the specific case of a 35 M⊙ star is studied in detail. The evolution of the SN shock wave in this case may have a bearing on other SNRs evolving in wind-blown bubbles, especially SN 1987A.
متن کاملDust Production and Particle Acceleration in Supernova 1987A Revealed with ALMA
Supernova (SN) explosions are crucial engines driving the evolution of galaxies by shock heating gas, increasing the metallicity, creating dust, and accelerating energetic particles. In 2012 we used the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array to observe SN 1987A, one of the best-observed supernovae since the invention of the telescope. We present spatially resolved images at 450μm, 870μm, ...
متن کامل2 00 7 Chandra Observations of Supernova 1987 A
We have been monitoring Supernova (SN) 1987A with Chandra X-Ray Observatory since 1999. We present a review of previous results from our Chandra observations, and some preliminary results from new Chandra data obtained in 2006 and 2007. High resolution imaging and spectroscopic studies of SN 1987A with Chandra reveal that X-ray emission of SN 1987A originates from the hot gas heated by interact...
متن کاملPerspectives of Core-collapse Supernovae beyond Sn 1987a
The observation of neutrinos from Supernova 1987A has confirmed the theoretical conjecture that these particles play a crucial role during the collapse of the core of a massive star. Only one per cent of the energy they carry away from the newly formed neutron star may account for all the kinetic and electromagnetic energy responsible for the spectacular display of the supernova explosion. Howe...
متن کاملVery Deep inside the Sn 1987a Core Ejecta: Molecular Structures Seen in 3d
Most massive stars end their lives in core-collapse supernova explosions and enrich the interstellar medium with explosively nucleosynthesized elements. Following core collapse, the explosion is subject to instabilities as the shock propagates outwards through the progenitor star. Observations of the composition and structure of the innermost regions of a core-collapse supernova provide a direc...
