Linear growth of spiral SASI modes in core-collapse supernovae

John M. Blondin, Samantha Shaw

Two-dimensional axisymmetric simulations have shown that the post-bounce accretion shock in core collapse supernovae is subject to the Spherical Accretion Shock Instability, or SAS…

Pulsar spins from an instability in the accretion shock of supernovae

John M. Blondin, Anthony Mezzacappa

Rotation-powered radio pulsars are born with inferred initial rotation periods of order 300 ms (some as short as 20 ms) in core-collapse supernovae. In the traditional picture, thi…

X-Ray Emission from Planetary Nebulae Calculated by 1D Spherical Numerical Simulations

Muhammad Akashi, Noam Soker, Ehud Behar +1

We calculate the X-ray emission from both constant and time evolving shocked fast winds blown by the central stars of planetary nebulae (PNs) and compare with observations. Using s…

A New Young Galactic Supernova Remnant Containing a Compact Object: G15.9+0.2

S. P. Reynolds, K. J. Borkowski, U. Hwang +3

We identify the radio-emitting shell-type supernova remnant G15.9+0.2 as a relatively young remnant containing an X-ray point source that may be its associated neutron star. The in…

Dust Destruction in Fast Shocks of Core-Collapse Supernova Remnants in the Large Magellanic Cloud

Brian J. Williams, K. J. Borkowski, S. P. Reynolds +9

We report observations with the MIPS instrument aboard the {\it Spitzer Space Telescope} (SST) of four supernova remnants (SNRs) believed to be the result of core-collapse SNe: N13…

Chandra Smells a RRAT: X-ray Detection of a Rotating Radio Transient

B. M. Gaensler, M. McLaughlin, S. Reynolds +10

"Rotating RAdio Transients" (RRATs) are a newly discovered astronomical phenomenon, characterised by occasional brief radio bursts, with average intervals between bursts ranging fr…

Dense, Fe-rich Ejecta in Supernova Remnants DEM L238 and DEM L249: A New Class of Type Ia Supernova?

K. J. Borkowski, S. P. Hendrick, S. P. Reynolds

We present observations of two LMC supernova remnants (SNRs), DEM L238 and DEM L249, with the Chandra and XMM-Newton X-ray satellites. Bright central emission, surrounded by a fain…

Nonlinear Diffusive Shock Acceleration with Magnetic Field Amplification

Andrey Vladimirov, Donald C. Ellison, Andrei Bykov

We introduce a Monte Carlo model of nonlinear diffusive shock acceleration allowing for the generation of large-amplitude magnetic turbulence. The model is the first to include str…

Imaging extended sources with coded mask telescopes: Application to the INTEGRAL IBIS/ISGRI instrument

Renaud Matthieu, Alexandra Gros, François Lebrun +4

Context. In coded mask techniques, reconstructed sky images are pseudo-images: they are maps of the correlation between the image recorded on a detector and an array derived from t…

Supernova Neutrinos: The Accretion Disk Scenario

G. C. McLaughlin, R. Surman

Neutrinos from core collapse supernovae can be emitted from a rapidly accreting disk surrounding a black hole, instead of the canonical proto-neutron star. For Galactic events, det…

Magnetic fields and UV-line variability in Cephei

R. S. Schnerr, H. F. Henrichs, S. P. Owocki +2

We present results of numerical simulations of wind variability in the magnetic B1 IVe star Cephei. 2D-MHD simulations are used to determine the structure of the wind. From the…

The Expansion Asymmetry and Age of the Cassiopeia A Supernova Remnant

R. A. Fesen, M. C. Hammell, J. Morse +7

HST ACS images of the young SN remnant Cas A are used to explore the expansion and spatial distribution of its highest velocity debris. Proper motions of over 1800 outlying ejecta…

Chandra LETG Observations of Supernova Remnant 1987A

Svetozar A. Zhekov, Richard McCray, Kazimierz J. Borkowski +2

We discuss the results from deep Chandra LETG observations of the supernova remnant 1987A (SNR 1987A). We find that a distribution of shocks, spanning the same range of velocities…

X-Ray Observations of SN 1006 with Integral

E. Kalemci, S. P. Reynolds, S. E. Boggs +4

The remnant of the supernova of 1006 AD, the remnant first showing evidence for the presence of X-ray synchrotron emission from shock-accelerated electrons, was observed for ~1000…

Dust Destruction in Type Ia Supernova Remnants in the Large Magellanic Cloud

Kazimierz J. Borkowski, Brian J. Williams, Stephen P. Reynolds +9

We present first results from an extensive survey of Magellanic Clouds supernova remnants (SNRs) with the Spitzer Space Telescope. We describe IRAC and MIPS imaging observations at…

Searching for annihilation radiation from SN 1006 with SPI on INTEGRAL

E. Kalemci, S. E. Boggs, P. A. Milne +1

Historical Type Ia supernovae are a leading candidate for the source of positrons observed through their diffuse annihilation emission in the Galaxy. However, search for annihilati…
