The morphology of young supernova remnants — •Sonja Boyer, Dominik Elsässer, and Karl Mannheim — Institut für Theoretische Physik und Astrophysik, Universität Würzburg

Core-collapse supernovae are among the candidate sites suggested for heavy element nucleosynthesis. Metallicity evolution of the Galaxy however seems to mandate that explosive nucleosynthesis of iron-group and above elements cannot take place in all core-collapses. We survey archival X-ray data with the aim to probe correlations between asymmetries of supernova remnants - potentially due to highly asymmetric explosions - and heavy element production.
