Description
The origins of cosmic dust remain a mystery, with supernovae (SNe) identified as significant contributors to dust production. Molecule formation following SNe explosions plays a crucial role in this process, as it efficiently cools the ejecta to a temperature suitable for dust condensation. To date, carbon monoxide (CO) molecules have been observed in only a few core-collapse SNe. In this talk, I will talk about CO and dust formation in core-collapse and Type Ia SNe.
