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 mechanism responsible for the formation of magnetars? The study: “Spatially resolved X-ray study of supernova remnants that host magnetars: Implication of their fossil field origin” of P. Zhou (University of Amsterdam/Nanjing University) recently appeared on A&A

Ricerca

At the end of their evolution, stars with a final mass larger than 8 solar masses (“final mass” because massive stars lose a large fraction of their mass as stellar winds during their evolution) explode as Core-Collapse Supernovae, e.g. triggered by the collapse of their nucleus. Two objects are produced by such explosions: the supernova remnant formed by the ejected
