Ejecta, Rings, and Dust in SN 1987A with JWST MIRI/MRS

Ejecta, Rings, and Dust in SN 1987A with JWST MIRI/MRS

Supernova (SN) 1987A is the nearest supernova in ∼400 yr. Using the JWST MIRI Medium Resolution Spectrograph, we spatially resolved the ejecta, equatorial ring (ER), and outer rings in the mid-infrared 12,927 days (35.4 yr) after the explosion. The spectra are rich in line and dust continuum emissio...
