If Type-II supernovae - the evolutionary end points of short-lived, massive stars - produce a significant quantity of dust (>0.1 M_sun) then they can explain the rest-frame far-infrared emission seen in galaxies and quasars in the first Gyr…

Cassiopeia A (Cas A) supernova remnant shows strong radiation from radio to gamma-ray bands. The mechanism of gamma-ray radiation in Cas A and its possible contribution to PeV cosmic rays are still under debate. The X-ray imaging reveals an…
