Dust production in supernovae: the case of Kepler's SNR
Abstract
We compare the submillimetre (submm) emission with the Hi and CO distribution towards Kepler's supernova remnant (SNR), and conclude that 0.1 to 1.2 M⊙ of dust originates from Kepler. Such rates are sufficient to explain the origin of dust in high redshift galaxies.
