I further study the manner by which a pair of opposite jets shape the keyhole morphological structure of the core-collapse supernova (CCSN) SN 1997A, now the CCSN remnant (CCSNR) 1987A. By doing so, I strengthen the claim that the…

We find that the remnant of supernova (SN) 1987A share some morphological features with four supernova remnants (SNRs) that have signatures of shaping by jets, and from that we strengthen the claim that jets played a crucial role in the…

I examine high-quality CO and SiO molecular maps of the core-collapse supernova (CCSN) remnant SN 1987A from the literature and find that the molecular gas exhibits a bipolar structure, correlated with the visible bipolar morphology (termed…

I identify a point-symmetric structure composed of three pairs of clumps in the recently released JWST image of the ejecta of SN 1987A and argue that these pairs of clumps support the jittering jets explosion mechanism (JJEM) for SN 1987A.…

We compare images of core-collapse supernova (CCSN) remnants (CCSNRs) and jet-shaped planetary nebulae (PNe) that have a narrow, faint zone extending from side to side, termed a pipe, with a hydrodynamical numerical simulation exploding a…

I find that the dust morphologies in some core-collapse supernova (CCSN) remnants (CCSNRs) possess jet-shaped morphologies, and propose that the properties of the jets that explode the CCSNe and their interaction with the core and envelope…

I review studies of core collapse supernovae (CCSNe) and similar transient events that attribute major roles to jets in powering most CCSNe and in shaping their ejecta. I start with reviewing the jittering jets explosion mechanism that I…

Supernova (SN) 1987A provides a unique window into the aftermath of a massive stellar explosion, offering key insights into the ejecta's morphology, composition, explosion mechanism, progenitor system, and circumstellar medium (CSM)…

We compare the morphology of the core collapse supernova remnant (CCSNR) W49B with the morphology of many planetary nebulae (PNe), and deduce the orientation of the jets that shaped this CCSNR and estimate their energy. We find…

We study the effects of jet-like explosion in SN 1987A. Calculations of the explosive nucleosynthesis and the matter mixing in a jet-like explosion are performed and their results are compared with the observations of SN 1987A. It is shown…

I suggest that the recently observed hot-dust elongated structure that likely engulfs the neutron star (NS) remnant of supernova (SN) 1987A was shaped by jets that the NS launched shortly after it acquired its natal kick velocity. I take…
