摘要:

我们目前的观测最近发现的超新星2008 iz在M82与VLBI高灵敏度阵列在22 GHz,甚大阵列在1.4,4.8,8.4,22和43 GHz的频率,和钱德拉X射线天文台。这颗超新星在相隔11个月的两张VLBI图像上被清晰地探测到。源显示出环状形态,并以~23000 km/s的速度扩展。最有可能的爆炸日期是2008年2月中旬。在假设同步自吸收在峰值处的光变曲线中占主导地位的情况下,测得的膨胀速度比预期的高出约2倍,这表明这种吸收机制对射电发射可能并不重要。我们没有发现不对称爆炸的证据。VLA光谱显示出一个破幂律,表明在2009年4月,源在1.4 GHz处仍然是光学厚的。最后,我们报告的X射线发射的上限SN 2008 iz和第二个无线电瞬变最近发现的MERLIN观测。

英文摘要:

We present observations of the recently discovered supernova 2008iz in M82 with the VLBI High Sensitivity Array at 22 GHz, the Very Large Array at frequencies of 1.4, 4.8, 8.4, 22 and 43 GHz, and the Chandra X-ray observatory. The supernova was clearly detected on two VLBI images, separated by 11 months. The source shows a ring-like morphology and expands with a velocity of ~23000 km/s. The most likely explosion date is in mid February 2008. The measured expansion speed is a factor of ~2 higher than expected under the assumption that synchrotron self-absorption dominates the light curve at the peak, indicating that this absorption mechanism may not be important for the radio emission. We find no evidence for an asymmetric explosion. The VLA spectrum shows a broken power law, indicating that the source was still optically thick at 1.4 GHz in April 2009. Finally, we report upper limits on the X-ray emission from SN 2008iz and a second radio transient recently discovered by MERLIN observations.
