长伽马射线暴和Ic型核心坍塌超新星在地球上有相似的位置

Long Gamma-Ray Bursts and Type Ic Core Collapse Supernovae Have Similar Locations in Hosts

P. L. Kelly, R. P. Kirshner, M. Pahre

摘要:

当余辉在长时间伽马射线暴(LGRB)的位置消失时,Ic型超新星(SN Ic)是唯一被观测到的核塌缩超新星。最近的工作发现,高红移星系中的LGRB样本与核心坍缩环境的集合具有不同的环境,这些环境可以从它们的颜色和光变曲线中识别出来。LGRB位于其宿主的最亮区域,但核心坍缩样本遵循星系光的整体分布。在这里,我们检查了504颗超新星,并根据它们的光谱进行了类型分配,这些超新星位于附近(z < 0.06)的星系中,我们已经从斯隆数字巡天(SDSS)中构建了表面测光。热核超新星(SN Ia)和一些核心坍缩超新星(SN II和SN Ib)的分布遵循星系光,但SN Ic(像LGRB一样)更有可能在其宿主的最亮区域爆发。LGRB的高红移宿主绝大多数是不规则的,没有凸起,而许多低红移的SN Ic宿主是有小凸起的螺旋。当我们从我们的低红移样品中去除凸起光时,SN Ic和LGRB分布非常一致。如果LGRB和SN Ic都来自大质量恒星,那么似乎LGRB也需要形成SN Ic的必要条件。其他因素,包括金属丰度,可能决定大质量恒星的恒星演化是否会导致一个LGRB,其下有一个宽线的SN Ic,或者只是一个没有伽马射线暴的SN Ic。

英文摘要:

When the afterglow fades at the site of a long-duration gamma-ray burst (LGRB), Type Ic supernovae (SN Ic) are the only type of core collapse supernova observed. Recent work found that a sample of LGRB in high-redshift galaxies had different environments from a collection of core-collapse environments, which were identified from their colors and light curves. LGRB were in the brightest regions of their hosts, but the core-collapse sample followed the overall distribution of the galaxy light. Here we examine 504 supernovae with types assigned based on their spectra that are located in nearby (z < 0.06) galaxies for which we have constructed surface photometry from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The distributions of the thermonuclear supernovae (SN Ia) and some varieties of core-collapse supernovae (SN II and SN Ib) follow the galaxy light, but the SN Ic (like LGRB) are much more likely to erupt in the brightest regions of their hosts. The high-redshift hosts of LGRB are overwhelmingly irregulars, without bulges, while many low redshift SN Ic hosts are spirals with small bulges. When we remove the bulge light from our low-redshift sample, the SN Ic and LGRB distributions agree extremely well. If both LGRB and SN Ic stem from very massive stars, then it seems plausible that the conditions necessary for forming SN Ic are also required for LGRB. Additional factors, including metallicity, may determine whether the stellar evolution of a massive star leads to a LGRB with an underlying broad-lined SN Ic, or simply a SN Ic without a gamma-ray burst.
