摘要:

NGC 2770在过去的10年中已经成为三颗Ib型超新星的宿主,SN 1999 eh,SN 2007 uy和SN 2008 D。SN 2008 D由于偶然发现了相关的X射线瞬变而引起了特别的关注。在本文中,我们研究了NGC 2770的性质,特别是三个SN站点,以调查该星系是否以任何方式独特,导致SNe Ib的高频率。我们的模型的全球SED的银河系宽带数据,并得出恒星形成和SN率相媲美的银河系的价值。我们进一步研究了银河系使用长缝光谱覆盖主轴和三个SN网站。从光谱研究中,我们发现太阳下的SN网站,高灭绝和中等恒星形成率的金属。在高分辨率的光谱中,我们还在SN 2008的视线中探测到弥漫的星际带。将NGC 2770与高SN发生率(过去100年中至少有3个SN)的星系样本的整体性质进行比较,表明NGC 2770并不是特别注定要产生这样的增强观测到的SNe。它的性质也与伽马射线暴的宿主星系有很大的不同。对超新星Ib探测率的统计考虑给出了在10年内发现一个具有3个Ib超新星的星系的概率约为1.5%。因此,这个星系中稀有的Ib SNe的数量很可能是巧合,而不是星系本身的特殊性质。NGC 2770有一个小的不规则伴星NGC 2770 B,它是一个高度恒星形成的天体,质量非常低,是附近宇宙中金属丰度最低的天体之一。在最贫金属的部分,我们甚至检测到沃尔夫-拉叶特功能,对目前的WR星模型,需要高金属丰度。

英文摘要:

NGC 2770 has been the host of three supernovae of Type Ib during the last 10 years, SN 1999eh, SN 2007uy and SN 2008D. SN 2008D attracted special attention due to the serendipitous discovery of an associated X-ray transient. In this paper, we study the properties of NGC 2770 and specifically the three SN sites to investigate whether this galaxy is in any way peculiar to cause a high frequency of SNe Ib. We model the global SED of the galaxy from broadband data and derive a star-formation and SN rate comparable to the values of the Milky Way. We further study the galaxy using longslit spectroscopy covering the major axis and the three SN sites. From the spectroscopic study we find subsolar metallicities for the SN sites, a high extinction and a moderate star-formation rate. In a high resolution spectrum, we also detect diffuse interstellar bands in the line-of-sight towards SN 2008. A comparison of NGC 2770 to the global properties of a galaxy sample with high SN occurance (at least 3 SN in the last 100 years) suggests that NGC 2770 is not particularly destined to produce such an enhancement of observed SNe observed. Its properties are also very different from gamma-ray burst host galaxies. Statistical considerations on SN Ib detection rates give a probability of ~1.5% to find a galaxy with three Ib SNe detected in 10 years. The high number of rare Ib SNe in this galaxy is therefore likely to be a coincidence rather than special properties of the galaxy itself. NGC 2770 has a small irregular companion, NGC 2770B, which is highly starforming, has a very low mass and one of the lowest metallicities detected in the nearby universe as derived from longslit spectroscopy. In the most metal poor part, we even detect Wolf-Rayet features, against the current models of WR stars which require high metallicities.
