Properties for typing SNRs and W49B’s results.

Properties W49B Bipolar CC Normal CC Type-Ia
PWN No + ± +
NS Unclear ± ± ±
Ejecta Iron-group rich +
Asymmetry Yes + + ±
Wind bubble ≲6 pc + ±

Notes. The − and + symbols under each explosion mechanism indicate negative and positive evidence, respectively, given the properties of W49B listed in the second column. The ± symbols indicate that some known SNRs (not for all) with similar properties match the scenario, or that the explosion mechanism cannot be constrained due to some unclear property.
