Dust-Gas Interaction in SNR 1987A
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multiwavelength observations of SNR 1987A show that its morphology is rapidly changing at X-ray, radio, and optical wavelengths as the blast wave from the explosion expands into the circumstellar equatorial ring. Infrared emission arises from the interaction of dust grains with the hot X-ray emitting gas. We show that the IR emission provides important complementary information on the interaction of the SN blast wave with the circumstellar equatorial ring that cannot be obtained at any other wavelength.

Dust 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 کاملEvolution of the Chandra CCD Spectra of SNR 1987A : Probing the Reflected-Shock Picture
We continue to explore the validity of the reflected shock structure (RSS) picture in SNR 1987A that was proposed in our previous analyses of the X-ray emission from this object. We used an improved version of our RSS model in a global analysis of 14 CCD spectra from the monitoring program with Chandra. In the framework of the RSS picture, we are able to match both the expansion velocity curve ...
متن کاملEvolutionary Status of Snr 1987a at the Age of Eighteen
Approximately 18 yr after the supernova explosion, the blast wave of SNR 1987A is entering the main body of the equatorial circumstellar material, which is causing a dramatic brightening of the remnant. We recently reported observational evidence for this event from ourChandra data (the work published in 2005November by Park et al.). We present here the temporal evolution of the X-ray-emitting ...
متن کاملDust yields in clumpy SN shells: SN 1987A revisited
We present a study of the effects of clumping on the emergent spectral energy distribution (SED) from dusty supernova (SN) shells illuminated by a diffuse radiation source distributed throughout the medium. These models are appropriate for Type II SNe older than a few hundred days, when the energy input is dominated by γ-rays from Co decay. The fully 3D radiation transport problem is solved usi...
متن کاملDust in Supernovae; Formation and Evolution
Core–collapsed supernovae (CCSNe) have been considered to be one of sources of dust in the universe. What kind and how much mass of dust are formed in the ejecta and are injected into the interstellar medium (ISM) depend on the type of CCSNe, through the difference in the thickness (mass) of outer envelope. In this review, after summarizing the existing results of observations on dust formation...
