An article published in “The Astrophysical Journal” reports new evidence that a neutron star formed after the supernova SN 1987A. A team of researchers led by Emanuele Greco, Ph.D. student at the University of Palermo and associated with the Italian National Institute of Astrophysics used observations conducted with NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and the NuSTAR space telescope to identify emissions that are compatible with a so-called pulsar wind nebula, an X-ray emitting nebula powered by a pulsar, which is a type of neutron star, inside it.
