Two articles, one published in the journal “Nature” and one in “The Astrophysical Journal Letters”, report different aspects of a study of the supernova remnant cataloged as SN 2022jli which include evidence of the presence of a compact object that could be a neutron star or a black hole that formed after the supernova. Two teams of researchers used various instruments including the Very Large Telescope (VLT) and the New Technology Telescope (NTT), both ESO’s, to study the consequences of this supernova and find the direct link to the formation of a compact object.
