A pair of unequal jets imparted the kick velocity to the neutron star of Cassiopeia A

Dmitry Shishkin, Muhammad Akashi, Noam Soker

We analyze observations of the Cassiopeia A core-collapse supernova remnant (CCSNR) and identify a pair of opposite rings, attributing their formation to unequal-energy explosion j…

JWST observations support the jittering-jets explosion mechanism (JJEM) for the core-collapse supernova remnant SNR 0540-69.3

Dmitry Shishkin, Noam Soker

We examine published JWST observations of the core-collapse supernova (CCSN) remnant SNR 0540-69.3 and identify a point-symmetric morphology in its inner ejecta. Within the framewo…

Jittering jets in stripped-envelope core-collapse supernovae

Nikki Yat Ning Wang, Dmitry Shishkin, Noam Soker

We compare the expected explosion time of core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) in the jittering jets explosion mechanism (JJEM) to that in the neutrino-driven (the delayed neutrino) me…

Natal kick by early-asymmetrical pairs of jets to the neutron star of supernova remnant S147

Dmitry Shishkin, Ealeal Bear, Noam Soker

We analyze the bipolar morphology of the jet-shaped core-collapse supernova (CCSN) remnant (CCSNR) S147 and its neutron star (NS) kick velocity, and suggest that two pairs of unequ…

The main jet axis of the W49B supernova remnant

Noam Soker, Dmitry Shishkin

We identify an axis connecting two opposite `ears' in the supernova remnant W49B and morphological signatures of three arcs around this axis that we claim are sections of full circ…

Et tu, Brute?: The Crab Nebula also exploded by jittering jets

Dmitry Shishkin, Noam Soker

We identify a point-symmetrical morphology comprised of seven pairs of opposite bays in the core-collapse supernova (CCSN) remnant Crab Nebula, which is consistent with the jitteri…

The Puppis A supernova remnant: an early jet-driven neutron star kick followed by jittering jets

Ealeal Bear, Dmitry Shishkin, Noam Soker

We identify a point-symmetric morphology of three pairs of ears/clumps in the core-collapse supernova remnant (CCSNR) Puppis A, supporting the jittering jets explosion mechanism (J…

The vela supernova remnant: The unique morphological features of jittering jets

Noam Soker, Dmitry Shishkin

We identify an S-shaped main-jet axis in the Vela core-collapse supernova (CCSN) remnant (CCSNR) that we attribute to a pair of precessing jets, one of the tens of pairs of jets th…

Identifying jittering-jet-shaped ejecta in the Cygnus Loop supernova remnant

Dmitry Shishkin, Roy Kaye, Noam Soker

Analyzing images of the Cygnus Loop, a core-collapse supernova (CCSN) remnant, in different emission bands, we identify a point-symmetrical morphology composed of three symmetry ax…

The jittering jets explosion mechanism (JJEM) in electron capture supernovae

Nikki Yat Ning Wang, Dmitry Shishkin, Noam Soker

We conduct one-dimensional stellar-evolution simulations of stars with zero age main sequence masses of towards core collapse by electron capture, and…

The implications of large binding energies of massive stripped core collapse supernova progenitors on the explosion mechanism

Dmitry Shishkin, Noam Soker

We examine the binding energies of massive stripped-envelope core collapse supernova (SECCSN) progenitors with the stellar evolution code MESA, and find that the jittering jets exp…

Remnant masses of core collapse supernovae in the jittering jets explosion mechanism

Dmitry Shishkin, Noam Soker

We conduct one dimensional (1D) stellar evolution simulations of non-rotating stars with initial masses in the range of to the time of core collapse and, using a cr…

Supplying angular momentum to the jittering jets explosion mechanism using inner convection layers

Dmitry Shishkin, Noam Soker

We conduct one-dimensional stellar evolution simulations in the mass range to late core collapse times and find that an inner vigorous convective zone with large…

Eccentric grazing envelope evolution towards type IIb supernova progenitors

Dmitry Shishkin, Noam Soker

We simulate the evolution of eccentric binary systems in the frame of the grazing envelope evolution (GEE) channel for the formation of Type IIb supernovae (SNe IIb), and find that…
