Szanna Zsíros (SZTE TTIK Fizikai Intézet; Hungary: Studying dusty 
core-collapse supernovae in the era of the James Webb Space Telescope

Core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) are the final evolutionary stages of massive 
stars (> 8 solar masses). These events play a significant role in the 
nucleosynthesis of numerous elements and have long been considered one of the 
major stellar sources of cosmic dust. Cosmic dust grains are one of the 
fundamental building blocks of the Universe. However, their various sources 
(and their contribution) are not fully understood yet. Although dusty CCSNe 
have been extensively studied for several decades, only a few young 
extragalactic SNe provide direct observational evidence for dust 
condensation. New observations indicate that ongoing dust formation in SNe 
may last even decades. Nevertheless, there are still numerous open questions 
about the formation mechanisms, morphology, and composition of dust grains in 
the environment of CCSNe. Multiwavelength follow-up observations allow us to 
explore the expanding SN ejecta and its interaction with the surrounding 
medium, which is crucial in uncover
 ing these details. Existing observations from the James Webb Space Telescope 
seem to support that CCSNe are significant sources of cosmic dust.
