Jets as diagnostics of the circumstellar medium and the explosion energetics of supernovae: The case of Cassiopeia A
We present hydrodynamical models for the Cassiopeia A (Cas A) supernova remnant and its observed jet/counterjet system. We include the evolution of the progenitor's circumstellar medium, which is shaped by a slow red supergiant wind that is followed by a fast Wolf-Rayet (WR) wind. The main para...
