Rim-nozzle asymmetry strengthens the JJEM (July 2024)

July 6, 2024 //  by Noam Soker

In a series of papers in 2024, I demonstrated the similarities between the morphologies of core-collapse supernovae and other astrophysical objects known to be shaped by jets. This further strengthens the jittering jets explosion mechanism as the primary explosion mechanism of core-collapse supernovae. The competing neutrino-driven explosion mechanism cannot explain these morphologies. I argue that these morphological similarities rule out the neutrino-driven explosion mechanism. Here, I compare the rim-nozzle asymmetry of supernova 1987A to a cluster of galaxies and two planetary nebulae (upper panel), and a newly discovered core-collapse supernova remnant with a cluster of galaxies and with a planetary nebula (lower panel). The paper is here.
