Hi Ivan,

>Normally SN explosions destroy the progenitor star so it is unlikely there will be any core left to see, unlike PNs.<

I forgot to qualify that statement with the comment that only type Ia SN leave no compact remnant. The other types (Ib,Ic,II) do end up with neutron star, pulsar or black hole cores.
