Kepler's Supernova Remnant: New fundamental Insights into Type Ia Supernova Explosions — This project uses JWST imaging and spectroscopy to study Kepler’s supernova remnant, a key Type Ia case for testing single- vs. double-degenerate progenitor models. By mapping ejecta, circumstellar material and dust, the observations will reveal the progenitor’s nature, constrain explosion models and link resolved galactic remnants to JWST studies of distant Type Ia supernovae.
