仙后座A超新星的可见性

Visual Observability of the Cassiopeia A Supernova

J. A. Morgan

摘要:

一般认为,产生仙后座A超新星遗迹的爆炸是由一颗缺氢恒星的核心坍缩造成的。一个失去了所有氢包层和部分氦包层的祖先将导致具有Ic型超新星光学特性的爆炸。有证据表明,如果不是普遍的协议,弗拉姆斯蒂德观察到的Cas A超新星作为一个六等对象在1680年8月。如果一个在Cas A的位置和距离上具有典型SNIc光变曲线的爆发在1679-1680年的冬天达到最大光度,那么它在当时的位置不适合目视观测,因为它的上顶点将在白天发生,而在8月,在峰值光度之后的170-200天,它将是一颗6等星。

英文摘要:

It is generally believed that the explosion which gave birth to the Cassiopeia A supernova remmant resulted from core collapse of a hydrogen-deficient star. A progenitor that has lost all its hydrogen envelope and part of its helium envelope would lead to an explosion with the optical properties of a Type Ic supernova. There is evidence, if not general agreement, that Flamsteed observed the Cas A supernova as a sixth magnitude object in August, 1680. If an explosion with a typical SNIc light curve at the position and distance of Cas A attained maximum luminosity during the winter of 1679-1680, it would at that time have been poorly situated for visual observation, as its upper culmination would have taken place during daylight, while in August, between 170-200 days after peak luminosity, it would have been a sixth magnitude star.
