HCO and the Effect of Mixing in SN 1987A
H. M. Davies, M. Matsuura, H. L. Gomez +8
We present high angular resolution observations of the HCO emission in the central ejecta of the supernova remnant SN 1987A using the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA). We…
The outer rings of SN 1987A from year 1994 to 2024: morphology, light curves, and optical to mid-infrared spectra
Sophie Rosu, Elko Gerville-Reache, Steven Thomas +14
The outer rings (ORs) of Supernova (SN) 1987A were ejected ~20000 years before the explosion. Their characterisation is crucial for constraining the properties of the progenitor of…
3D insights into SN 1987A: ALMA observations compared to hydrodynamical explosion simulations
R. Wesson, M. Gabler, M. Lyons +9
We obtain three-dimensional distributions of CO and SiO molecules from high spatial resolution (0.03--0.06") ALMA observations of SN 1987A at two different epochs. The evolution be…
JWST Observations of SN 2023ixf I: Completing the Early Multi-Wavelength Picture with Plateau-phase Spectroscopy
J. M. DerKacy, C. Ashall, E. Baron +46
We present and analyze panchromatic (0.35--14 m) spectroscopy of the Type II supernova 2023ixf, including near- and mid-infrared spectra obtained 33.6 days after explosion duri…
JWST observations of the Ring Nebula (NGC 6720) -- II. PAH emission
Nicholas Clark, Els Peeters, Nick L. J. Cox +16
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and carbonaceous dust have been observed in clumpy circumstellar environments, yet their formation and evolutionary pathways in such environ…
JWST Observations of SN 2023ixf II: The Panchromatic Evolution Between 250 and 720 Days After the Explosion
K. Medler, C. Ashall, P. Hoeflich +60
We present the nebular phase spectroscopic and photometric observations of the nearby hydrogen-rich core-collapse supernova (CC-SN) 2023ixf, obtained through our JWST programs. The…
