The evolution of the mid-infrared spectrum of SN 1987A observed with the JWST/MIRI-MRS

P. J. Kavanagh, M. J. Barlow, C. Fransson +19

Supernova (SN) 1987A provides a unique laboratory for investigating many aspects of SN physics and evolution. An observation at Day 12927 (35.4 yr) since the explosion with the Mid…

The Two-Zone Temperature Distribution Model: Inferences on the Structure and Composition of Dusty Protoplanetary Disks

William Grimble, Joel Kastner, B. Sargent +1

In order to understand the mineralogy and structure of protoplanetary disks, it is important to analyze them from both an empirical spectrum-based perspective and a radiative trans…

The compact object and innermost ejecta of SN 1987A

J. Larsson, C. Fransson, P. J. Kavanagh +12

The first JWST observations of SN 1987A provided clear evidence that a compact object is ionizing the innermost ejecta. Here we analyze a second epoch of JWST NIRSpec and MIRI/MRS…

The Empirical and Radiative Transfer Hybrid (EaRTH) Disk Model: Merging Analyses of Protoplanetary Dust Disk Mineralogy and Structure

William Grimble, Joel Kastner, Christophe Pinte +7

Our understanding of how exoplanets form and evolve relies on analyses of both the mineralogy of protoplanetary disks and their detailed structures; however, these key complementar…

Emission lines due to ionizing radiation from a compact object in the remnant of Supernova 1987A

C. Fransson, M. J. Barlow, P. J. Kavanagh +31

The nearby Supernova 1987A was accompanied by a burst of neutrino emission, which indicates that a compact object (a neutron star or black hole) was formed in the explosion. There…

JWST MIRI Imager Observations of Supernova SN 1987A

P. Bouchet, R. Gastaud, A. Coulais +31

There exist very few mid-infrared (IR) observations of supernovae (SNe) in general. Therefore, SN 1987A, the closest visible SN in 400 years, gives us the opportunity to explore th…
