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 identify an S-shaped morphological feature in the enigmatic supernova remnant (SNR) 3C 397, which we attribute to the shaping by a precessing pair of jets during the explosion. We identify an S-shaped, faint region composed of two…

We study the morphologies of core collapse supernova remnants (CCSNRs) and find that about third of CCSNRs in our sample have two opposite `ears' protruding from their main shell. We assume that the ears are formed by jets, and argue that…
