Cassiopeia A’s Reverse Shock and Its Effects on the Expanding SN Ejecta

Cassiopeia A’s Reverse Shock and Its Effects on the Expanding SN Ejecta

Using optical and near-infrared images of the Cassiopeia A (Cas A) supernova remnant covering the time period 1951–2022, together with optical spectra of selected filaments, we present an investigation of Cas A’s reverse shock velocity and the effects it has on the remnant’s metal-rich ejecta. We fi...
