supernova remnant (one octant)

sketchfab

Structure of a supernova remnant at 500 yr. The green contours show the edge of the ejecta (contact discontinuity), subject to the Rayleigh-Taylor instability. The translucent purplish inner and outer contours mark the position of the reverse and forward shocks. Another version shows the full remnant. Simulations published in Ferrand et al 2019 using as initial conditions the thermonuclear model N100 from Seitenzahl et al 2013
