摘要:

1993年9月至2003年10月,利用3.6、6和18cm波段的甚长基线干涉测量(VLBI)研究了M81超新星SN 1993 J的壳状射电结构的生长。为此,我们开发了一种方法来精确地确定任何圆对称紧凑射电结构(如SN 1993J)的外半径(R)。SN 1993 J的源结构在近4000天内保持圆对称(与圆度的偏差小于2%)。我们用膨胀参数$m= 0.845\pm0.005$($R \propto t^{m}$)描述了SN 1993 J在爆炸后约1500天的减速膨胀。然而,从那一天开始,在6和18厘米处观察到的膨胀是不同的。事实上,在18 cm处,扩张可以通过与第1500天之前相同的$m$来很好地表征,而在6 cm处,扩张似乎更加减速,并且通过另一个扩张参数$m_{6}= 0.788\pm0.015$来表征。因此,从大约1500天开始,射电源的尺寸在6厘米处逐渐小于18厘米处。这些发现与其他作者先前关于扩张细节的报告形成鲜明对比。在我们的解释中,超新星以单一的膨胀参数$m= 0.845\pm0.005$膨胀,而超过1500天的6厘米结果是由于物理效应,也许也与仪器的限制有关。可能涉及两个物理效应:(a)喷出物对6厘米辐射的不透明度的变化,以及(b)发射区域中磁场的径向减小。(Long抽象削减请阅读完整的手稿摘要)。

英文摘要:

We have studied the growth of the shell-like radio structure of supernova SN1993J in M81 from September 1993 through October 2003 with very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations at the wavelengths of 3.6, 6, and 18cm. For this purpose, we have developed a method to accurately determine the outer radius (R) of any circularly symmetric compact radio structure like SN1993J. The source structure of SN1993J remains circularly symmetric (with deviations from circularity under 2%) over almost 4000 days. We characterize the decelerated expansion of SN 1993J through approximately day 1500 after explosion with an expansion parameter $m= 0.845\pm0.005$ ($R \propto t^{m}$). However, from that day onwards the expansion is different when observed at 6 and 18cm. Indeed, at 18cm, the expansion can be well characterized by the same $m$ as before day 1500, while at 6cm the expansion appears more decelerated, and is characterized by another expansion parameter, $m_{6}= 0.788\pm0.015$. Therefore, since about day 1500 on, the radio source size has been progressively smaller at 6cm than at 18cm. These findings are in stark contrast to previous reports by other authors on the details of the expansion. In our interpretation the supernova expands with a single expansion parameter, $m= 0.845\pm0.005$, and the 6cm results beyond day 1500 are due to physical effects, perhaps also coupled to instrumental limitations. Two physical effects may be involved: (a) a changing opacity of the ejecta to the 6cm radiation, and (b) a radial decrease of the magnetic field in the emitting region. (Long abstract cut.
