Imaging of Radio Supernova

چکیده
As the shock and expanding shell of a supernova plow out through the circumstellar material at thousands of km s −1 , radio emission is generated. VLBI observations of this radio emission are presently the only means to directly image the expanding shell of any supernova much farther away than SN 1987A. The last decade has seen great progress in VLBI imaging of radio supernovae. In particular, SN 1993J in the galaxy M81 provided a rare opportunity to closely study an expanding super-nova, and has been intensively observed. I summarize some of the results on SN 1993J and other radio supernovae, and compare the different observed radio supernovae. I briefly discuss the future prospects of radio supernovae imaging.

متن کاملFifteen Years of High-Resolution Radio Imaging of Supernova 1987A
Supernova 1987A in the Large Magellanic Cloud provides a spectacularly detailed view of the aftermath of a core-collapse explosion. The supernova ejecta initially coasted outward at more than 10% of the speed of light, but in 1990 were observed to decelerate rapidly as they began to encounter dense circumstellar material expelled by the progenitor star. The resulting shock has subsequently prod...
متن کاملPre-supernova Ring around Psr0540-69
SNR0540-69 is a supernova remnant in the LMC, harbouring a young (τ ∼ 1600 yrs) radio/optical/X-ray pulsar (P=50 ms). Ground based Hα imaging of the region has shown a unique spiral-like structure centered around the pulsar. In narrow band HST imaging, the feature seems resolved in a ring-like structure, probably ejected by the progenitor star in a pre-supernova phase (≥ 10 yrs ago).
متن کاملA High-resolution Radio Survey of the Vela Supernova Remnant
This paper presents a high-resolution radio continuum (843 MHz) survey of the Vela supernova remnant. The contrast between the structures in the central pulsar-powered nebula of the remnant and the synchrotron radiation shell allows the remnant to be identified morphologically as a member of the composite class. The data are the first of a composite remnant at spatial scales comparable with tho...
متن کاملChandra Detection of the X-ray Counterpart of the High Magnetic Field Radio Pulsar J1119-6127 in the Supernova Remnant G292.2-0.5
We report the Chandra Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer detection of the X-ray counterpart of the high magnetic field, ∼1600 year-old, 407 ms radio pulsar J1119–6127 associated with the supernova remnant G292.2– 0.5. The powerful imaging capability of Chandra also unveiled, for the first time, a faint 3×6 pulsar wind nebula (PWN) at energies above∼1.2 keV. The X-ray emission from the pulsar and...
