短寿命SN Ia祖细胞的证据

Evidence for short-lived SN Ia progenitors

Eric Aubourg, Rita Tojeiro, Raul Jimenez, Alan F. Heavens, Michael A. Strauss, David N. Spergel

摘要:

我们使用VESPA算法和斯隆数字巡天的光谱来研究257颗Ia型超新星的宿主星系的恒星形成历史。我们发现5 $σ$证据的寿命小于180万年的祖先寿命短的人口,表明Ia型超新星通道产生的恒星质量范围$\sim$ 3.5-8 $M_\odot$。Ia型超新星作为可观测的烛光,在确定宇宙的膨胀历史中扮演着重要的角色,但为了对未来的宇宙学调查有用,峰值光度需要在1- 2%的水平上不受未校正的系统效应的影响。如果不同的祖先路径导致超新星的性质有很小的差异,那么这些差异需要单独校正,否则它们可能会导致未来超新星调查的系统性偏差,因为快速路径可能会在高红移时增加重要性。宿主的VESPA分析可能是一个有价值的工具,通过确定哪种祖先途径最有可能。

英文摘要:

We use the VESPA algorithm and spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to investigate the star formation history of the host galaxies of 257 Type Ia supernovae. We find 5$σ$ evidence for a short-lived population of progenitors with lifetimes of less than 180 Myr, indicating a Type Ia supernova channel arising from stars in the mass range $\sim$3.5-8 $M_\odot$. As standardizeable candles, Type Ia supernovae play an important role in determining the expansion history of the Universe, but to be useful for future cosmological surveys, the peak luminosity needs to be free of uncorrected systematic effects at the level of 1-2%. If the different progenitor routes lead to supernovae with even moderately small differences in properties, then these need to be corrected for separately, or they could lead to a systematic bias in future supernovae surveys, as the prompt route is likely to increase in importance at high redshift. VESPA analysis of hosts could be a valuable tool in this, by identifying which progenitor route is most likely.
