An article to be published in the journal “Astronomy & Astrophysics” reports a study of the supernova SN 1987A that offers evidence that the explosion was decidedly asymmetric and dominated by two bipolar jets. A team of researchers led by astrophysicist Salvatore Orlando of the Italian National Institute of Astrophysics in Palermo has developed a model that takes into account the interaction between matter and magnetic field to study the evolution of SN 1987A. The results successfully reproduce the morphology of the iron-rich ejected materials, which was observed in particular by the James Webb Space Telescope. This shows that those structures are the result of an asymmetric explosion.
