摘要:

我们报告我们的光度和光谱观测的第谷超新星遗迹(SNR第谷)的Ia型超新星(SN Ia)的伴星搜索的第一个结果。利用斯巴鲁望远镜上的Suprime-Cam进行光度观测,我们已经获得了亮度超过22等(在$V$波段)的恒星光谱,它们位于SNR Tycho中心半径为30”的圆形区域内。如果年轻超新星遗迹的喷出物,如SNR Tycho,有足够的Fe I,我们应该能够检测到在3720和3860的吸收线与从基态的Fe I在伴星的光谱中的跃迁。为了利用Fe I的这些特征吸收线来识别Ia型超新星的伴星,我们在斯巴鲁望远镜上利用FOCAS对其目标进行了光学低分辨率光谱分析。在我们的光谱观测中,我们获得了SNR Tycho区域的17颗恒星的光谱,并将它们与模板恒星光谱进行了比较。我们在3720 ° C处探测到两颗恒星的显著吸收线。由于其吸收线的宽度是广泛的,它很可能是由于铁I在SNR第谷膨胀喷出物检测到的反射。然而,在观测到的吸收谱中,没有一颗恒星表现出明显的红翼,而在SNR背景下的恒星则应该表现出红翼,因此,我们提出了另一种解释,即所探测到的吸收谱线可能是由恒星的特殊性引起的。一颗名为Tycho(E)的恒星的吸收线位于3720 <$m,它的投影位置接近SNR Tycho的中心。根据我们的观测,第谷(E)是第谷超新星的伴星的新候选者。

英文摘要:

We report our first results of photometric and spectroscopic observations for Tycho's supernova remnant (SNR Tycho) to search for the companion star of a type Ia supernova (SN Ia). From photometric observations using Suprime-Cam on the Subaru Telescope, we have picked up stars brighter than 22 mag (in $V$-band) for spectroscopy, which are located within a circular region with the radius of 30" around the center of SNR Tycho. If the ejecta of young supernova remnants, such as SNR Tycho, have a sufficient amount of Fe I, we should be able to detect absorption lines at 3720 Åand 3860 Åassociated with transitions from the ground state of Fe I in the spectrum of the companion star. To identify the companion star of a SN Ia using these characteristic absorption lines of Fe I, we made optical low-resolution spectroscopy of their targets using FOCAS on the Subaru Telescope. In our spectroscopic observations, we obtained spectra of 17 stars in the SNR Tycho region and compare them with template stellar spectra. We detect significant absorption lines from two stars at 3720 Å. Since widths of their absorption lines are broad, it is likely that the detected absorptions are due to Fe I in the expanding ejecta of SNR Tycho. However, none of stars exhibits a clear red wing in the observed profiles of the absorption, though a star in the background of the SNR should show it. Hence, we suggest another interpretation that the detected absorption lines might be caused by the peculiarity of stars. A star named Tycho(E) has the absorption line at 3720 Åand its projected position is close to the center of SNR Tycho. Based on our observations, Tycho(E) is a new candidate as the companion star of Tycho's supernova.
