Could it be possible to detect planets from stars that went supernova through the resulting nebula shape?
It ocurred me, if a star with at least one planetary companion undergoes a nova or supernova, we shoud expect the debris to be deflected to some degree, on exit. To ilustrate it, first let's take the ...

Supernova remnant spectral lines
I have some trouble to find which spectral lines are the ones in this SNR N49 fitted spectrum.
They are at 1.3 keV, 1.9keV, 2.5keV, 3.2keV, 3.95keV and maybe at 0.65keV and 6.8keV (approximately).
...

Supernova remnant and ejecta "bullet"
I'm making an X-ray analysis of the source SNR N49. It has a magnetar inside of it that is emitting strongly in Soft ([0.2-1.2] keV), Medium ([1.2-2.5] keV), and Hard ([2.5-8.0] keV) bands.
I was ...

Do supernova remnant nebula re-collapse into a star?
We know that nebula sometimes collapse into stars. The particles are attracted to the joint gravitational center of the whole nebula.
One type of nebula is a supernova remnant nebula. Unlike a normal ...

Is there a way to calculate the mass of of a stellar remnant given the initial mass of the star?
Assume there is a star in a completely empty region of space, away from any outside influence.
Is there a way to calculate the mass of a resulting stellar remnant, a white dwarf, neutron star, or ...

What percent of all stars that have lived (up to now) are stellar remnants?
According to this post, I found that about 90% of all stars are main sequence stars. So I am assuming that the other 10% consists of protostars, older giant stars, and stellar remnants. So I'm ...

Properties of low-mass stellar remnants vs the Earth
How does the Earth differ from a (low-mass) stellar remnant, which has stopped fusion and the outer layers of which have been blown away?
Could a stellar remnant end up with a similar relative ...

Does a kilonova leave a high mass remnant?
My understanding of Type Ia supernovae is that they are expected, in most cases, to destroy the white dwarf(s) that went in to them, leaving behind no high density remnants (i.e. no white dwarf, ...

Do mixed type remnant collisions produce anything interesting?
The recent detection of a binary neutron star inspiraling and colliding raises an interesting question in my mind. Type Ia supernovae are believed to be caused by white dwarf/regular star pairs and/or ...

Does the mass of a collapsing star change?
Does a star, when collapsing into a neutron star, or even a black hole, pick up any significant relativistic mass due to its rapid collapse rate?
