In today's world, SN 1992bd has gained unprecedented relevance. Whether due to its impact on society, its importance in history or its influence in the scientific field, SN 1992bd has become a constant topic of conversation around the world. From its origins to its current evolution, SN 1992bd has remained a topic of interest for experts, enthusiasts and the general public. In this article, we will thoroughly explore the importance of SN 1992bd, analyzing its various facets and the role it plays in our daily lives.
September 1992 supernova event in the constellation Fornax, inside NGC 1097
SN 1992bd was a type II supernova event in NGC 1097, positioned some 1.5″ east and 9″ south of the galactic nucleus. It was discovered by astronomers Chris Smith and Lisa Wells on October 12, 1992. Spectra of the object collected October 17 showed it to have an expansion velocity of 7,500 km/s.[1] Subsequent examination of archival images from the Hubble Space Telescope showed an image of the supernova had been captured on September 20, 1992, 12 days prior to its discovery with ground-based telescopes. The eruption occurred in the circumnuclear star-forming region of the galaxy.[3]
