摘要:

我们提出了SN 2007 ax的多波段光度和光谱观测,这是迄今为止观测到的最暗和最红的Ia型超新星(SNIa)。当M_B = -15.9和(B-V)max = 1.2时,这个超新星在最大亮度下比其它超新星暗半个星等以上。与亚发光SN 2005 ke类似,SN 2007 ax似乎也在后期显示出过量的UV发射。传统上,Delta-m_(15)(B)被用于SNeIa的下降速率的参数化。然而,对于微弱的SNeIa,B波段从快速下降到缓慢下降的转变发生在15天之前。因此,我们建议,一个更物理动机的参数,两个斜坡的交叉点的时间,而不是使用。只有通过解释最暗(和最亮)的超新星,我们才能彻底理解热核爆炸的物理学。我们建议,未来的调查应该仔细设计他们的节奏,深度,指向和后续行动,以找到一个公正的样本,非常微弱的成员,这一子类微弱的SNeIa。

英文摘要:

We present multi-band photometric and optical spectroscopic observations of SN2007ax, the faintest and reddest Type Ia supernova (SNIa) yet observed. With M_B = -15.9 and (B-V)max = 1.2, this SN is over half a magnitude fainter at maximum light than any other SNIa. Similar to subluminous SN2005ke, SN2007ax also appears to show excess in UV emission at late time. Traditionally, Delta-m_15(B) has been used to parameterize the decline rate for SNeIa. However, the B-band transition from fast to slow decline occurs sooner than 15 days for faint SNeIa. Therefore we suggest that a more physically motivated parameter, the time of intersection of the two slopes, be used instead. Only by explaining the faintest (and the brightest) supernovae, we can thoroughly understand the physics of thermonuclear explosions. We suggest that future surveys should carefully design their cadence, depth, pointings and follow-up to find an unbiased sample of extremely faint members of this subclass of faint SNeIa.
