Abstract In a failed supernova, partial ejection of the progenitor’s outer envelope can occur due to weakening core’s gravity by neutrino emission in protoneutron star phase. We consider when this ejecta sweeps up circumstellar material, analogous supernova remnants (SNRs). focus on explosions blue supergiants, and find that be bright soft X-rays. Due its emission, we sources Large Magellanic C...
