The explosion of a supernova releases almost instantaneously about 10^ 51 51 ergs of
mechanic energy, changing irreversibly the physical and chemical properties of large …

The origins of the elements and isotopes of cosmic material is a critical aspect of
understanding the evolution of the universe. Nucleosynthesis typically requires physical …

JCW had long wanted to write a new monograph on supernovae. Despite an immense
explosion in the literature and many review articles, there had not been one since that of …

We present the calibration and background model for the Large Area X-ray Proportional
Counter (LAXPC) detectors on board AstroSat. The LAXPC instrument has three nominally …

Aims. We present a comprehensive X-ray study of the population of supernova remnants
(SNRs) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Using primarily XMM-Newton observations …

Four decades ago, the firm detection of an Fe-K emission feature in the X-ray spectrum of
the Perseus cluster revealed the presence of iron in its hot intracluster medium (ICM). With …

We investigate the relation between the optical extinction (AV) and the hydrogen column
density (NH) determined from X-ray observations of a large sample of Galactic sightlines …

Searches for circumstellar material around Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are some of the
most powerful tests of the nature of SN Ia progenitors, and radio observations provide a …

Despite decades of intense efforts, many fundamental aspects of Type Ia supernovae (SNe
Ia) remain elusive. One of the major open questions is whether the mass of an exploding …

Thermonuclear and core-collapse supernova remnants (SNRs) are the nebular leftovers of
defunct stars. Their morphology and emission properties provide insights into the …
