With the usual topology on $\Bbb R$, a compactification $\mathrm{id}_{\Bbb R}:\Bbb R\to v\Bbb R$ can have a remainder $v\Bbb R \setminus \Bbb R$ of cardinality $1,2, 2^{\aleph_0}=c,$$1,2, 2^{\aleph_0}=\mathfrak c,$ or $2^c.$$2^{\mathfrak c}.$ The only possibilities less than $c$$\mathfrak c$ are $1,2.$

Suppose $c^+<2^c.$$\mathfrak c^+<2^{\mathfrak c}.$ What possible cardinals between $c$$\mathfrak c$ and $2^c$$2^{\mathfrak c}$ can be the cardinals of such remainders?

Is there perhaps a Forcing argument that can answer or partly answer this?
