Ia型超新星的速度演化和本征色

Velocity Evolution and the Intrinsic Color of Type Ia Supernovae

Ryan J. Foley, Nathan E. Sanders, Robert P. Kirshner

摘要:

为了了解如何最好地利用Ia型超新星(SNe Ia)的观测来获得精确和准确的距离,我们研究了SNe Ia的光谱和它们的固有颜色之间的关系。使用样本的1630光谱的255 SNe,主要是根据数据从CfA超新星计划,我们研究如何速度的演变和线强度的Si II 6355和Ca II H&K是相关的B-V颜色在峰值亮度。我们发现Si II 6355和Ca II H&K的最大光速和Si II 6355的最大光赝等效宽度与本征色相关,本征色与Si II 6355的测量值呈线性关系。Ca II H&K与固有颜色没有线性关系,但低速SNe倾向于固有蓝色。组合光谱测量并不能改善固有颜色推断。高速度超新星Ia的内在颜色散射更大-即使在去除了与速度的线性趋势之后-表明低速度超新星Ia更像是“标准蜡笔”。“利用来自SN Ia光谱的信息有可能改善对河外距离的测量以及从中推断的宇宙学性质。

英文摘要:

To understand how best to use observations of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) to obtain precise and accurate distances, we investigate the relations between spectra of SNe Ia and their intrinsic colors. Using a sample of 1630 optical spectra of 255 SNe, based primarily on data from the CfA Supernova Program, we examine how the velocity evolution and line strengths of Si II 6355 and Ca II H&K are related to the B-V color at peak brightness. We find that the maximum-light velocity of Si II 6355 and Ca II H&K and the maximum-light pseudo-equivalent width of Si II 6355 are correlated with intrinsic color, with intrinsic color having a linear relation with the Si II 6355 measurements. Ca II H&K does not have a linear relation with intrinsic color, but lower-velocity SNe tend to be intrinsically bluer. Combining the spectroscopic measurements does not improve intrinsic color inference. The intrinsic color scatter is larger for higher-velocity SNe Ia --- even after removing a linear trend with velocity --- indicating that lower-velocity SNe Ia are more "standard crayons." Employing information derived from SN Ia spectra has the potential to improve the measurements of extragalactic distances and the cosmological properties inferred from them.
