Supernova remnant 0509-67.5 is consistent with an explosion inside an old planetary nebula (SNIP)
Noam Soker
I critically examine claims in the paper arXiv:2608.11978 that the double-detonation (DDet) scenario explains the type Ia supernova (SN Ia) remnant (SNR Ia) SNR 0509-67.5, and find…
Long-lived intermittent accretion disks in the jittering jets explosion mechanism (JJEM) of core-collapse supernovae
Noam Soker
Motivated by observations of core-collapse supernova (CCSN) remnants that suggest cases where one to three energetic pairs of jets dominate the CCSN remnant morphology and, hence,…
Simulating the convection in red super-giant stars: wobbling jets in common envelope evolution
Shlomi Hillel, Ron Schreier, Noam Soker
The paper uses a three‑dimensional red supergiant model to estimate the stochastic angular momentum of gas accreted by a companion during common envelope evolution, showing that th…
Identifying a circum-jet southern ring counterpart to the northern jet of the Crab Nebula
Noam Soker
I analyze images of the Crab Nebula core-collapse supernova (CCSN) remnant in light of recent three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations of the jittering-jets explosion mechanism…
Reproducing morphological features in the supernova remnant G11.2-0.3 by simulating jittering jets
Muhammad Akashi, Noam Soker
We hydrodynamically simulate a core-collapse supernova (CCSN) explosion by launching three pairs of jets in the framework of the jittering-jets explosion mechanism (JJEM), and repr…
Type Ia supernovae interacting with a close circumstellar material (SNe Ia-CSM) are SNe Ia inside planetary nebulae (SNIPs)
Noam Soker
I show that a newly estimated fraction of normal type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) that interact within about 100 days of explosion with circumstellar material (CSM), called SNe Ia-CSM,…
