摘要:

IIP型超新星(Plateau Supernovae)是最常见的核心坍缩事件。它们已经在从无线电到X射线的广泛波长范围内被探测到。IIP型超新星的标准图像是爆炸波与其前身的星周物质相互作用,产生一个由正激波和反向激波包围的热区。这个区域被认为是这些物体发射的大部分X射线和无线电的来源。然而,从这些超新星的X射线的起源还没有得到很好的定量理解。粒子加速和磁场放大在产生X射线和无线电发射中的相对贡献需要确定。在这项工作中,我们分析了钱德拉天文台对SN 2004dj的观测档案,SN 2004dj是自SN 1987A以来最近的超新星,以及已发表的无线电和光学信息。测定了爆前质量损失率、爆炸波速度、电子加速和磁场放大效率。我们发现更多的热能进入加速电子而不是放大磁场。我们的结论是,X射线发射产生的组合的逆康普顿散射的非热电子加速的前向冲击和热辐射的超新星喷出物加热的反向冲击。

英文摘要:

Type IIP (Plateau) Supernovae are the most commonly observed variety of core collapse events. They have been detected in a wide range of wavelengths from radio, through optical to X-rays. The standard picture of a type IIP supernova has the blastwave interacting with the progenitor's circumstellar matter to produce a hot region bounded by a forward and a reverse shock. This region is thought to be responsible for most of the X-ray and radio emission from these objects. Yet the origin of X-rays from these supernovae is not well understood quantitatively. The relative contributions of particle acceleration and magnetic field amplification in generating the X-ray and radio emission need to be determined. In this work we analyze archival Chandra observations of SN 2004dj, the nearest supernova since SN 1987A, along with published radio and optical information. We determine the pre-explosion mass loss rate, blastwave velocity, electron acceleration and magnetic field amplification efficiencies. We find that a greater fraction of the thermal energy goes into accelerating electrons than into amplifying magnetic fields. We conclude that the X-ray emission arises out of a combination of inverse Compton scattering by non-thermal electrons accelerated in the forward shock and thermal emission from supernova ejecta heated by the reverse shock.
