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…

SNR 1987A : Spitzer data from days 6000 to 8000 revisited

Patrice Bouchet, René Gastaud, Alain Coulais +1

An excess emission has been observed by Spitzer in the [3, 5] micron range of the SNR 1987A spectrum. It is generally argued that this excess could be due to the presence of warm a…

Deep JWST/NIRCam imaging of Supernova 1987A

Mikako Matsuura, M. Boyer, Richard G. Arendt +46

JWST/NIRCam obtained high angular-resolution (0.05-0.1''), deep near-infrared 1--5 micron imaging of Supernova (SN) 1987A taken 35 years after the explosion. In the NIRCam images,…

JWST MIRI Flight Performance: Imaging

Dan Dicken, Macarena García Marín, Irene Shivaei +37

The Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) aboard the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) provides the observatory with a huge advance in mid-infrared imaging and spectroscopy covering the w…

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…
