We assess the variance of supernova(SN)-like explosions associated with the core collapse of rotating massive stars into a black hole-accretion disc system under changes in the progenitor structure. Our model of the central engine evolves…
Hot atmospheres pervading galaxy clusters, groups, and early-type galaxies are rich in metals, produced during epochs and diffused via processes that are still to be determined. While this enrichment has been routinely investigated in…
Employing the the stellar evolution code (Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics), we calculate yields of heavy elements from massive stars via stellar wind and core-collapse supernovae (CCSN) ejecta to interstellar medium (ISM).…
The detailed observations of GW170817 proved for the first time directly that neutron star mergers are a major production site of heavy elements. The observations could be fit by a number of simulations that qualitatively agree, but can…
In this study, we report a probabilistic insight into the stellar mass and supernovae (SNe) explosion energy of the possible progenitors of five CEMP-no stars. This was done by a direct comparison between the abundance ratios [X/Fe] of the…
Red supergiants have been confirmed as the progenitor stars of the majority of hydrogen-rich type II supernovae. However, while such stars are observed with masses >25M$_\odot$, detections of >18M$_\odot$ progenitors remain elusive. Red…
In this work, we present results from a $\sim$201.6 ks observation of G352.7$-$0.1 by using the X-ray Imaging Spectrometer onboard {\it Suzaku} X-ray Observatory. The X-ray emission from the remnant is well described by two-temperature…
Based on the XMM-Newton large program on SN1006 and our newly developed spatially resolved spectroscopy tools (Paper~I), we study the thermal emission from ISM and ejecta of SN1006 by analyzing the spectra extracted from 583 tessellated…
We report the first high spectral resolution study of 17 M giants kinematically confirmed to lie within a few parsecs of the Galactic Center, using R=24,000 spectroscopy from Keck/NIRSPEC and a new linelist for the infrared K band. We…
We analyze observations from the Chandra X-ray Observatory of the southeast knot of the Cygnus Loop supernova remnant. In this region, the blast wave propagates through an inhomogeneous environment. Extrinsic differences and subsequent…
This review recaps significant results as they apply to non-dwarf galaxies, including the Milky Way, spiral disks and bulges, and elliptical and lenticular galaxies. Conclusions that span the galaxy types treated here are as follows. All…
Suzaku observed a central region and five offset regions within 0.2 r180 in the Fornax cluster, a nearby poor cluster, and XMM-Newton mapped the cluster with 15 pointings out to 0.3 r180. The distributions of O, Mg, Si, S, and Fe in the…
The paper considers the evolution of the supernova envelopes produced by Population III stars with masses of $M_*\sim 25-200 M_\odot$ located in non-rotating protogalaxies with masses of $M\sim 10^7 M_\odot$ at redshifts $z=12$, with…
{\it Chandra} X-ray observations of Kepler's supernova remnant indicate the existence of a high speed Fe-rich ejecta structure in the southwestern region. We report strong K-shell emission from Fe-peak elements (Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni), as well as…
We report on observations of SN 1987A with ISO SWS/LWS made 9 - 11 years after the explosion. No emission from the supernova was seen. In particular, the upper limits on the fluxes of [Fe I] 24.05 microns and [Fe II] 25.99 microns on day…
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 between these two epochs is consistent with homologous…
We have analyzed 17 early-type galaxies, 13 ellipticals and 4 S0's, observed with Suzaku, and investigated metal abundances (O, Mg, Si, and Fe) and abundance ratios (O/Fe, Mg/Fe, and Si/Fe) in the interstellar medium (ISM). The emission…
We present metallicity measurements based on GIRAFFE@VLT spectra of 80 subgiant-branch stars of the Galactic globular cluster Omega Centauri. The VLT spectroscopic data are complemented by ACS/HST and [email protected] high-accuracy…
We detail the spectral analysis of a 170 ks XRISM Resolve observation of the core of Cygnus A. The high spectral resolution of Resolve have enabled us to probe the inner accretion region of Cygnus A by analyzing the 6.4 keV Fe K$\alpha$…
We report on the results from the analysis of our 114 ks Chandra HETGS observation of the Galactic core-collapse supernova remnant G292.0+1.8. To probe the 3D structure of the clumpy X-ray emitting ejecta material in this remnant, we…
