Probing the Dispersion and Rotation Measure Contributions from Supernova Remnants in Fast Radio Burst Source Environments with 1D SNR Simulation

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) provide a sensitive probe of ionized baryons through their dispersion measure (DM). In addition to slowly evolving cosmological terms, at least two repeaters now show clear secular DM-decrease episodes: FRB~20190520B and FRB~20121102 , supporting a dense, dynamically evolving local environment. We adopt a \emph{forward-modeling} approach and use time-dependent 1D SNR simulations for a young magnetar embedded in SN ejecta, combining single-star and binary-stripped progenitors with HD+NEI calculations to follow shock structure, ionization, and electron density. The shocked region contributes only limited DM ($\lesssim10\,{\rm pc\,cm^{-3}}$), while the dominant time-varying component is the unshocked ejecta, whose early behavior follows ${\rm DM}\propto t^{-\alpha}$ with $\alpha\simeq1.8$--$1.9$. Although shocked-region DM is small, shock-amplified magnetic fields can still generate substantial RM; in our shock-only RM framework, only the $11\,M_\odot$ SS model reproduces the FRB~20121102 RM evolution. Binary-stripped progenitors generally yield smaller DM than single-star models at fixed $M_{\rm ZAMS}$, with composition-dependent mean molecular weights introducing non-monotonic mass trends. Matching the observed ${\rm dDM}/{\rm d}t$ of FRB~20190520B (and the late-stage slope of FRB~20121102), we infer local SNR DM contributions of tens to hundreds ${\rm pc\,cm^{-3}}$. We also find GHz escape is allowed in most models, with $\tau_{\rm ff}=1$ typically reached by $t_{\rm esc}\lesssim70$ yr; for weakly ionized ejecta, the source can be nearly transparent from very early times. These results support a young CCSN/SNR origin for a substantial fraction of ${\rm DM}_{\rm source}$ and highlight that physically consistent local-environment modeling is essential for robust FRB cosmological DM inferences.

Probing the Diversity of Type Ia Supernova Remnants in 3-D Hydrodynamic Simulations with X-ray Spectral Synthesis

Type Ia supernovae (SNe), thermonuclear explosions of white dwarfs in binary systems, are widely used as standard candles owing to the empirical width-luminosity relation of their light curves. Recent theoretical and observational studies indicate a diversity of progenitor systems and explosion mechanisms. In the supernova remnant (SNR) phase, the diversity in Fe-K$\alpha$ centroid energies and line luminosities suggests variations in the underlying explosion mechanisms. X-ray spectra of SNRs, which trace shocked ejecta and the surrounding medium, are crucial diagnostics of progenitor systems and explosion physics. Thanks to recent advances in spectroscopy with XRISM, high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy enables 3-D diagnostics, including line-of-sight velocities. In this study, we perform 3-D hydrodynamic simulations of SNRs from six Type Ia explosion models: two each of pure deflagration, delayed detonation, and double detonation. Each model is evolved for 1000 years in a uniform medium, consistently accounting for non-equilibrium ionization. Our efficient numerical scheme enables systematic parameter surveys in full 3-D. From these models, we synthesize X-ray spectra with $\sim$1 eV resolution, exceeding XRISM/Resolve's spectral resolution. This work presents the first calculation of X-ray spectra for Type Ia SNRs derived from 3-D hydrodynamic simulations that follow the evolution self-consistently from the SN phase into the SNR phase. Our results show inter-model diversity in the X-ray spectra. Asymmetric, red- and blueshifted line profiles arise from the 3-D ejecta distributions. These findings demonstrate that 3-D SNR modeling can reproduce the observed diversity of Type Ia SNRs and provide qualitative constraints on progenitor systems and explosion mechanisms.

The role of the secondary white dwarf in a double-degenerate double-detonation explosion, in the supernova remnant phase

Type Ia supernovae (SNe) are believed to be thermonuclear explosions of white dwarf (WD) stars, but their progenitor systems and explosion mechanisms are still unclear. Here we focus on double degenerate systems, where two WDs are interacting, and on the double detonation mechanism, where a detonation of a helium shell triggers a detonation of the carbon-oxygen core of the primary WD. We take the results from three-dimensional SN simulations of Pakmor et al 2022 (arXiv:2203.14990) and carry them into the supernova remnant (SNR) phase, until 1500 yr after the explosion. We reveal signatures of the SN imprinted in the SNR morphology. We confirm the impact of a companion on the SNR: its presence induces a conical shadow in the ejecta, that is long lived. Its intersection with the shocked shell is visible in projection as a ring, an ellipse, or a bar, depending on the orientation. New, we test the case of a nested explosion model, in which the explosion of the primary induces the secondary to also explode. As the explosion of the secondary WD is weaker only the primary outer ejecta interact with the ambient medium and form the main SNR shell. The secondary inner ejecta collide with the reverse shock, which enhances the density and thus the X-ray emissivity. The composition at the points of impact is peculiar, since what is revealed are the outer layers from the inner ejecta. This effect can be probed with spatially-resolved X-ray spectroscopy of young SNRs.
