We also trace the development of the first such \"hot spot,\" discovered in 1997, back to 1995. Later hot spots seem to have emerged by early 1999. We discuss mechanisms for the long delay between the first and later spots.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2000-05-22T18:31:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "supernova remnant 1987a", "hot spot", "long delay", "interaction", "equatorial circumstellar ring" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 545418 } } }
