Early observations of Type Ia supernovae (SNe$\,$Ia) provide essential clues for understanding the progenitor system that gave rise to the terminal thermonuclear explosion. We present exquisite observations of SN$\,$2019yvq, the second…
Kepler's supernova remnant (SNR) is believed to result from a Type Ia supernova, but be interacting with dense circumstellar material (CSM), which makes its progenitor system a mystery. Using the Chandra ACIS-S 741 ks effective exposure…
G292.0+1.8 (G292) is a young ($\sim$3000 yr), Galactic textbook-type core-collapse supernova remnant (CCSNR). It is characterized by X-ray, optical and infrared emission from ejecta and circumstellar medium (CSM) features, and contains a…
Recent progress in the three-dimensional modeling of supernovae (SN) has shown the importance of asymmetries for the explosion. This calls for a reconsideration of the modeling of the subsequent phase, the supernova remnant (SNR), which has…
G310.7-5.4 is a supernova remnant (SNR) candidate identified as a faint shell in the second epoch Molonglo Galactic Plane Survey (MGPS-2), but this has not been followed up with multi-wavelength observations until now. It is an example of…
I demonstrate the usage of planetary nebulae (PNe) to infer that a pair of jets shaped the ejecta of the core-collapse supernova (CCSN) SN 1987A. The main structure of the SN 1987A inner ejecta, the keyhole, comprised two low-intensity…
We have observed the Galactic supernova remnant G16.7+0.1 for 13 ks using the EPIC cameras aboard the XMM-Newton X-ray Observatory, producing the first detection of the SNR outside of the radio band. G16.7+0.1 is one of the faintest radio…
SN 1006 (G327.6+14.6) was the brightest supernova (SN) witnessed in human history. As of one thousand years later, it stands out as an ideal laboratory to study Type Ia SNe and shocks in supernova remnants (SNRs). The present state of…
A new faint and large shell-type radio Supernova Remnant (SNR) G108.2-0.6 has been discovered in the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey (CGPS). The SNR shows an elliptical shell-type structure at 1420 MHz, and has a 408-1420 MHz TT-plot…
The morphology and the distribution of material observed in SNRs reflect the interaction of the SN blast wave with the ambient environment, the physical processes associated with the SN explosion and the internal structure of the progenitor…
Recent observations of core-collapse supernovae (SNe) suggest aspherical explosions. Globally aspherical structures in SN explosions are regarded as the key for understanding their explosion mechanism. However, the exact explosion…
During a detailed search for optical counterparts of known Galactic supernova remnants (SNRs) using the Anglo Australian Observatory/United Kingdom Schmidt Telescope (AAO/UKST) HAlpha survey of the southern Galactic plane we have found…
In a search for low surface brightness radio nebulae using the ASKAP-EMU survey, we discovered a faint radio shell, G289.6+5.8, and its central point radio source at the position of the soft gamma-ray source IGR J11187-5438. The central…
We present ASCA observations of supernova remnant (SNR) G349.7+0.2. The remnant has an irregular shell morphology and is interacting with a molecular cloud, evident from the presence of OH(1720 MHz) masers and shocked molecular gas. The…
We present a high-resolution radio study of the supernova remnant (SNR) G11.2-0.3 using archival VLA data. Spectral tomography is performed to determine the properties of this composite-type SNR's individual components, which have only…
The explosion mechanism associated with thermonuclear supernovae (SNIa) is still a matter of debate. There is a wide agreement that high amounts of of radioactive nuclei are produced during these events and they are expected to be strong…
We carry out 3D-hydrodynamical calculations for the interaction of expanding supernova ejecta with the dense circumstellar matter (CSM) and the rarefied interstellar medium (ISM) outside. The CSM is composed of the stellar wind matter from…
We present a 3-dimensional model of supernova remnants (SNRs) where the hydrodynamical evolution of the remnant is modeled consistently with nonlinear diffusive shock acceleration occuring at the outer blast wave. The model includes…
We present results from deep Chandra observations of the young Type Ia supernova remnant (SNR) 0509-68.7, also known as N103B, located in the Large Magellanic cloud (LMC). The remnant displays an asymmetry in brightness, with the western…
In the favored progenitor scenario, Type Ia supernovae arise from a white dwarf accreting material from a non-degenerate companion star. Soon after the white dwarf explodes, the ejected supernova material engulfs the companion star;…
