伯克利超新星Ia计划II:最大亮度附近光谱的初步分析

Berkeley Supernova Ia Program II: Initial Analysis of Spectra Obtained Near Maximum Brightness

Jeffrey M. Silverman, Jason J. Kong, Alexei V. Filippenko

摘要:

本文是系列文章的第二篇,我们测量了261颗最大亮度20 d以内的Ia型超新星的432个低红移(z < 0.1)光谱的光谱特征。这些数据是从1989年到2008年底作为伯克利SN Ia计划(BSNIP)的一部分获得的,并在BSNIP I中提供(Silverman等人,2012)。我们详细描述了我们的方法,自动化,强大的光谱特征定义和测量,扩展了类似的以前的研究。使用这个过程中,我们试图测量膨胀速度,伪等效宽度(pEW),光谱特征深度,和通量的中心和端点的9个主要的光谱特征复合物。我们调查速度和pEW如何随时间演变,以及它们如何相互关联。不同的光谱分类方案和定量光谱的子类之间的差异进行了研究。计算和研究了几种pEW值的比值。通常被用作光度指标的Si II比率(Nugent等人,1995年)被发现与所谓的“SiFe”比率有很好的相关性,并且与类似的“SSi比率”有很好的相关性,证实了以前的研究结果。此外,超新星Ia与星周物质或非球面爆炸相互作用的强有力证据被发现具有最大的近最大膨胀速度和pEW,可能将光谱观测值的极值与特定的祖先或爆炸场景联系起来。[摘要]

英文摘要:

In this second paper in a series we present measurements of spectral features of 432 low-redshift (z < 0.1) optical spectra of 261 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) within 20 d of maximum brightness. The data were obtained from 1989 through the end of 2008 as part of the Berkeley SN Ia Program (BSNIP) and are presented in BSNIP I (Silverman et al. 2012). We describe in detail our method of automated, robust spectral feature definition and measurement which expands upon similar previous studies. Using this procedure, we attempt to measure expansion velocities, pseudo-equivalent widths (pEW), spectral feature depths, and fluxes at the centre and endpoints of each of nine major spectral feature complexes. We investigate how velocity and pEW evolve with time and how they correlate with each other. Various spectral classification schemes are employed and quantitative spectral differences among the subclasses are investigated. Several ratios of pEW values are calculated and studied. The so-called Si II ratio, often used as a luminosity indicator (Nugent et al. 1995), is found to be well correlated with the so-called "SiFe" ratio and anticorrelated with the analogous "SSi ratio," confirming the results of previous studies. Furthermore, SNe Ia that show strong evidence for interaction with circumstellar material or an aspherical explosion are found to have the largest near-maximum expansion velocities and pEWs, possibly linking extreme values of spectral observables with specific progenitor or explosion scenarios.
