High angular resolution ALMA images of dust and molecules in the SN 1987A ejecta

Abstract:

We present high angular resolution (~80 mas) ALMA continuum images of the SN 1987A system, together with CO J = 2 $\to $ 1, J = 6 $\to $ 5, and SiO J = 5 $\to $ 4 to J = 7 $\to $ 6 images, which clearly resolve the ejecta (dust continuum and molecules) and ring (synchrotron continuum) components. Dust in the ejecta is asymmetric and clumpy, and overall the dust fills the spatial void seen in Hα images, filling that region with material from heavier elements. The dust clumps generally fill the...
