SN 1987AThe opportunity of a lifetime

• First visible nearby supernova in 400 years!• February 23, 1987• Large Magellanic Cloud (Milky Way

satellite galaxy)

• First …• Progenitor star identified• Observed with modern telescopes• Observed extensively in non-visible light

Chandra’s X-ray Vision

• Expanding blast wave heats gas up to millions of degrees, causing it to glow with X-rays

• Chandra has looked at SN 1987A once or twice a year since it launched in 1999

The First 17 Years with ChandraReading the star’s history

• The star expelled parts of its outer layers during its life.

• The expanding supernova blast wave lights up this material for us to see with Chandra.

• The denser the material, the brighter the X-rays.

• Ring + clumps structure

• Asymmetric expansion implies lopsided explosion or stellar wind

NuSTAR Observations of SN1987A

(Boggs & NuSTAR Team, Science 348, p. 670, 2015)

SN1987A Confirmed Core Collapse Model:• Neutrino burst confirmed collapse of the central core

• 56Co (0.07 M

) and 57Co (0.003) drive UVOIR lightcurve

SM1987A Surprises:• Progenitor was a blue supergiant (20 M

), not red

• 56Co lines emerged months before expected, heavy mixing

NuSTAR SN 1987A Objectives• Constrain models of nucleosynthesis in SN

1987A by measuring the 44Ti production.

• Reveal asymmetries in the explosion mechanism

and further constrain the explosion models

through the 44Ti emission line profile.

• Study HXR emission from remnant.

How can 3D modeling help experts and non-experts approach the different kinds of objects in space? Learn how 3D models are created with data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory/Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and other observatories. Use free CAD software to explore 3D modeling, and receive a 3D printed object after the workshop. The goal is to help learners understand the life cycles of stars and galaxies, while also experimenting with cutting-edge technology through both hardware and software.

Working with data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes on topics from exploded stars, to star-forming regions, to the area around black holes, students learn basic coding (for beginners, no experience required) and follow a video tutorial to create a real world application of science, technology and even art. By enabling students to use real data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, along with other astronomical data, this project helps show just how integral coding is in the pursuit of learning about our Universe.
