Journal ArticleDOI
A survey of irradiated pillars, globules, and jets in the carina nebula
TL;DR: In this article, a wide-field, deep narrowband H2, Br?, H?, [S ii], [O iii], and broadband I-and K-band images of the Carina star formation region are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of binary evolution on the inferred initial and final core masses of hydrogen-rich, Type II supernova progenitors
Emmanouil Zapartas,Emmanouil Zapartas,S. E. de Mink,S. E. de Mink,Stephen Justham,Stephen Justham,Nathan Smith,Mathieu Renzo,A. de Koter,A. de Koter +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the impact of binary history of Type II SN progenitors on their final pre-SN core mass distribution, using population synthesis simulations, and they found that binary star progensitors of type II SNe typically end their life with a larger core mass than they would have had if they had lived in isolation because they gained mass or merged with a companion before their explosion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proper Motion and Excitation Structure of the Expanding Ionized Rings around RY Scuti
TL;DR: In this paper, multiepoch HST/WFPC2 images of the massive eclipsing binary RY Scuti reveal that the compact ionized rings in its circumstellar nebula are expanding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hubble Space Telescope Observations of Oxygen-rich Supernova Remnants in the Magellanic Clouds. III. WFPC2 Imaging of the Young, Crab-like Supernova Remnant SNR 0540–69.3*
Jon A. Morse,Jon A. Morse,Nathan Smith,William P. Blair,Robert P. Kirshner,P. Frank Winkler,John P. Hughes +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the multi-component kinematics and filamentary morphology of the optical emission-line features likely result from magnetic Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities that form as the synchrotron nebula expands and sweeps up ejecta, as seen in the Crab nebula.
Journal ArticleDOI
Discovery of a Nearby Twin of SN 1987A's Nebula around the Luminous Blue Variable HD 168625: Was Sk ?69 202 an LBV?
TL;DR: Spitzer images of the luminous blue variable (LBV) candidate HD 168625 reveal the existence of a bipolar nebula several times larger than its previously known equatorial dust torus as mentioned in this paper.
