Optical Discovery of New and Candidate Galactic Supernova Remnants Plus Optical Imaging of the Monogem Supernova Remnant

Robert A. Fesen, Marcel Drechsler, Bray Falls +16

We report the discovery of new and candidate Galactic supernova remnants made through over 2000 hours of H and [O III] imaging using amateur class instrumentation. These nebulae…

Deciphering the "Green Monster" in Cassiopeia A: Puncturing and sculpting a heterogeneous circumstellar shell

S. Orlando, H. -T. Janka, D. Milisavljevic +6

JWST observations of Cassiopeia A have revealed the "Green Monster" (GM), a pockmarked region of shocked circumstellar medium (CSM) characterized by circular holes surrounded by br…

Detection of High-Velocity NaI Absorption Toward the Stellar Remnant of SN 1181 AD

Peter Garnavich, Robert A. Fesen

We report the detection of weak high-velocity NaI absorption at V = km s in the spectrum of the stellar remnant at the center of the Galactic sup…

The Ejecta Nebula Around the Wolf-Rayet Star WR 71

Robert A. Fesen, Manuel C. Peitsch, Martin R. Pugh +2

We present deep H and [O III] images of the ejecta rich nebulosity associated with the suspected runaway and binary Wolf-Rayet star WR~71 (HD 143414). In H emission, the nebu…

Deep Optical Images of the Ejecta Nebula Around the Wolf-Rayet Star WR 8 (HD 62910)

Robert A. Fesen, Daniel Patnaude, Wei-Hao Wang +7

We report the results of deep H and [O III] images of the bright WN6/WC4 Wolf-Rayet star WR~8 (HD~62910). These data show considerably more surrounding nebulosity than seen in p…

Cassiopeia A's Reverse Shock and its Effects on the Expanding SN Ejecta

Robert A. Fesen, Dan Milisavljevic, Daniel Patnaude +4

Using optical and near-infrared images of the Cassiopeia A (Cas A) supernova remnant covering the time period 1951 to 2022, together with optical spectra of selected filaments, we…
