Infrared integral field spectroscopy of SN 1987A

Abstract: Context. SN 1987A in the Large Magellanic Cloud is close enough for a study of the very late time evolution of a supernova and its transition to a supernova remnant. Nearly two decades after explosion we are witnessing the supernova shock wave engaging the inner circumstellar ring, which had been fluorescing since being ionised by the soft X-ray flash from shock breakout. Aims. We follow the interaction of the supernova shock with the ring material. The spatially resolved information provides us with insight i… Show more

“…Both spectra have been binned by a factor of three for visual clarity. The identification of atomic lines is from Kjaer et al (2007). We only label lines that are strong enough to be clearly detected, with black and red bars indicating lines in the ejecta and ring spectra, respectively.…”

“…The resulting spectra are shown in Figure 2. The regions are selected to avoid intervals of emission lines identified in SN 1987A provided in Table 3 and 4 of Kjaer et al (2007) and regions of H 2 emission . Moreover, wavelength intervals close to residual atmospheric lines are also excluded.…”
