Watching SN1987A unfold over decades, with older instruments like Hubble, and now JWST + combining this with other wavelength regimes, like radio emissions from ALMA, is like being in a fun class on supernovae that runs for most of our lives. We just keep learning!
Now if the neutron star would just become a pulsar, and beam in our direction, I will be a very happy chap!

Webb finds evidence for a neutron star at heart of young supernova remnant
https://esawebb.org/news/weic2404/?lang
The supernova, known as SN 1987A, occurred 160 000 light-years from Earth in the Large Magellanic Cloud. #SN1987A was a type II supernova that was observed on Earth in 1987, the first supernova that was visible to the naked eye since 1604 — before the advent of telescopes.

An article published in the journal "Science" reports new evidence that the supernova SN 1987A generated a pulsar. A team of researchers used observations conducted with the James Webb Space Telescope to detect the effects of high-energy emissions coming from the pulsar or the pulsar wind nebula, a nebula that surrounds it and is powered by the pulsar.

Webb vindt de neutronenster in SN 1987A
Astronomen hebben met behulp van de Webb Space Telescope een einde gemaakt aan het bijna 10 jaar durende spel van verstoppertje spelen nadat ze een neutronenster ontdekten in de restanten van een stellaire explosie.

Ohhh, some exciting astro news!!! 👀👀👀
A new paper has found more evidence for a neutron star in the supernova 1987A remnant using JWST's MIRI/MRS and NIRSpec/IFU!
https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adj5796
However, a secondary paper from a few days back, which also used JWST MIRI, found no evidence of the compact remnant in their data: https://arxiv.org/html/2402.14014v1
Almost 2 years ago I wrote a feature article looking at the evidence for this, so these new papers and findings are exciting!

Here are a few more images of Supernova 1987A to feast your eyes on 🤩
All 3 images show the beaded inner ring, composed of gas emitted by the progenitor star and lit up with interaction with the supernova ejecta.
The first two images also show the two faint outer rings, whose gas consists of material ejected by the supernova progenitor at an earlier stage of evolution than the inner ring.

Astronomers expected SN 1987A to have collapsed into a dense neutron star. But clear evidence for it has been difficult to find.
In 2021, high energy X-ray data from NuSTAR and Chandra provided some evidence for the existence of a structure known as a "pulsar wind nebula" at the center of SN 1987A. A pulsar wind nebula is a cloud of charged particles and magnetic fields created by a rapidly spinning neutron star.
Promising but not definitive.

This series of images from Hubble shows the evolution of the bright spots on the inner ring around Supernova 1987A from 1994 to 2018.
After the initial flash of UV radiation, which lit up dense areas of the ring, the rings cooled down until they got hit by the shock wave of material ejected by the SN, which compress and heat the gas in the ring, making it glow. Spots started to dim again after 2011.
