We have used the Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) optical integral field spectrograph at the Very Large Telescope (VLT) on Cerro Paranal and the wide field spectrograph (WiFeS) at the ANU 2.3 m telescope at Siding Spring Observatory to obtain deep observations of 1E 0102. Our observations cover the entire extent of the remnant from below 3500{\\AA} to 9350{\\AA}. Our observations unambiguously reveal the presence of fast-moving ejecta emitting in [S II], [S III], [Ar III], and [Cl II]. The sulfur-rich ejecta appear more asymmetrically distributed compared to oxygen or neon, a product of carbon-burning. In addition to the forbidden line emission from products of oxygen burning (S, Ar, Cl), we have also discovered H{\\alpha} and H{\\beta} emission from several knots of low surface brightness, fast-moving ejecta. The presence of fast-moving hydrogen points towards a progenitor that had not entirely shed its hydrogen envelope prior to the supernova. The explosion that gave rise to 1E 0102 is therefore commensurate with a Type IIb supernova.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-01-19T04:12:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "integral field spectroscopy", "sulfur-rich ejecta", "fast-moving hydrogen", "oxygen-rich young supernova remnant", "field spectrograph" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
