摘要:

我们提出了全面的光度和光谱观测的微弱瞬态SN 2008 S在NGC 6946中发现。SN 2008 S在前9个月表现出缓慢的光度演化,几乎没有光谱变化,这意味着高密度的CS介质。它的光变曲线与SN 1998 S和SN 1979 C的光变曲线相似,但在最大光照下明显较暗。我们的准测辐射热光变曲线延伸到300天,并显示出与^{56} Co一致的尾相衰减率。我们认为这是^{56}Ni(0.0015 +/- 0.0004 M_Sun)爆炸和形成的证据。爆炸后不久探测到的大的和平号红外线通量可以用预爆炸尘埃的光回波来解释。后期近红外辐射通量过剩是由于在CS环境中的热的新形成的喷出物尘埃与冲击加热的尘埃相结合。我们重新评估的前身对象先前在斯皮策存档图像中检测到的,补充这一讨论与模型的和平号光谱能量分布。这支持了SN 2008 S周围存在一个尘埃光学厚壳层的观点,该壳层的内半径约为90 AU,外半径约为450 AU,热源温度约为3000 K,光度约为L ~ 10^{4.6} L_Sun。结合我们的监测数据和来自祖先分析的证据,我们支持的超AGB祖先星(初始质量6-8 M_sun)嵌入在一个厚厚的CS气体包层中的弱电子捕获超新星爆炸的场景。我们认为SN 2008 S中电子俘获SN现象的所有主要性质都被观测到了,未来的观测可能会给出一个明确的答案。

英文摘要:

We present comprehensive photometric and spectroscopic observations of the faint transient SN 2008S discovered in NGC 6946. SN 2008S exhibited slow photometric evolution and almost no spectral variability during the first nine months, implying a high density CS medium. The light curve is similar in shape to that of SN 1998S and SN 1979C, although significantly fainter at maximum light. Our quasi-bolometric lightcurve extends to 300 days and shows a tail phase decay rate consistent with that of ^{56}Co. We propose that this is evidence for an explosion and formation of ^{56}Ni (0.0015 +/- 0.0004 M_Sun). The large MIR flux detected shortly after explosion can be explained by a light echo from pre-exisiting dust. The late NIR flux excess is plausibly due to a combination of warm newly-formed ejecta dust together with shock-heated dust in the CS environment. We reassess the progenitor object detected previously in Spitzer archive images, supplementing this discussion with a model of the MIR spectral energy distribution. This supports the idea of a dusty, optically thick shell around SN 2008S with an inner radius of nearly 90AU and outer radius of 450AU, and an inferred heating source of 3000 K and luminosity of L ~ 10^{4.6} L_Sun. The combination of our monitoring data and the evidence from the progenitor analysis leads us to support the scenario of a weak electron capture supernova explosion in a super-AGB progenitor star (of initial mass 6-8 M_sun) embedded within a thick CS gaseous envelope. We suggest that all of main properties of the electron capture SN phenomenon are observed in SN 2008S and future observations may allow a definitive answer.
