Circumstellar Nebulae in Young Supernova Remnants
read the original abstract
Supernovae descendent from massive stars explode in media that have been modified by their progenitors' mass loss and UV radiation. The supernova ejecta will first interact with the circumstellar material shed by the progenitors at late evolutionary stages, and then interact with the interstellar material. Circumstellar nebulae in supernova remnants can be diagnosed by their small expansion velocities and high [N II]/H$\alpha$ ratios. The presence of circumstellar nebulae appears ubiquitous among known young supernova remnants. These nebulae can be compared to those around evolved massive stars to assess the nature of their supernova progenitors. Three types of archeological artifacts of supernova progenitors have been observed in supernovae and/or young supernova remnants: (1) deathbed ejecta, (2) circumstellar nebulae, and (3) interstellar bubbles. Examples of these three types are given.
