X-Rays from Supernova 1993J and Ejecta Instabilities
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Abstract
Among the mechanisms of X-ray emissions from supernovae, we focus on the circumstellar interaction. In particular, we relate the new X-ray features of SN1993J to the hydrodynamical instabilities in the ejecta. First, we model the early-time two component spectral feature by invoking instabilities in the dense cooling shell in the ejecta. Second, we model the gradual increase in the X-ray light curve as X-rays emitted from the reverse shocked ejecta; here the model requires a large scale change in the density distribution due to Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities around the core-envelope interface.
