SN1987A, located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, is an object of great importance for the study of supernovae and supernova remnants. In fact, it is the only supernova that has occurred recently and is close enough to allow us to obtain detailed observations across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. SN1987A was a core-collapse supernova, resulting from the collapse of the core

The amount of gas that is converted into stars by the star formation process is described by the star formation rate. For instance, in the Milky Way today between 0.7 and 1.5 solar masses of gas are converted into stars each year. However, this a mean value across our Galaxy, since locally clouds can start forming stars at higher rates
