摘要:

光谱偏振测量提供了在早期探测超新星的3D几何形状的手段。我们报告了Ia型超新星2012 fr在四个历元:-11,-5,+2和+24天,相对于B光曲线最大值的分光偏振观测。SN 2012 fr是一个正常的Ia型SN,类似于SN 1990 N、2000 cx和2005 hj(它们的Si II主线速度下降率都很低)。SN在-11天时显示出高度极化的高速分量。这些特征的极化随着它们从-5天开始变弱而减小。在+2天时,硅和钙的低速分量的极化角是相同的,并且相对于高速Ca分量以90度取向。除了具有非常不同的速度之外,高速度和低速度Ca分量在天空平面中具有正交分布。SN在所有四个时期的连续极化都很低,<0.1%。我们的结论是,低水平的连续极化是不一致的合并引起的爆炸的情况。从高速和低速Ca分量的极化角明显的简单轴对称性,以及Si和Ca的高速分量的存在,与脉动延迟爆轰模型一致。我们预测,在星云阶段,SN 2012 fr将显示蓝移的铁族元素的发射线。

英文摘要:

Spectropolarimetry provides the means to probe the 3D geometries of Supernovae at early times. We report spectropolarimetric observations of the Type Ia Supernova 2012fr at four epochs: -11, -5, +2 and +24 days, with respect to B-lightcurve maximum. SN 2012fr is a normal Type Ia SN, similar to SNe 1990N, 2000cx and 2005hj (that all exhibit low velocity decline rates for the principal Si II line). The SN displays high velocity components at -11 days that are highly polarized. The polarization of these features decreases as they become weaker from -5 days. At +2 days, the polarization angles of the low velocity components of silicon and calcium are identical and oriented at 90 degrees relative to the high velocity Ca component. In addition to having very different velocities, the high and low velocity Ca components have orthogonal distributions in the plane of the sky. The continuum polarization for the SN at all four epochs is low <0.1%. We conclude that the low level of continuum polarization is inconsistent with the merger-induced explosion scenario. The simple axial symmetry evident from the polarization angles of the high velocity and low velocity Ca components, along with the presence of high velocity components of Si and Ca, are consistent with the pulsating delayed detonation model. We predict that, during the nebular phase, SN 2012fr will display blue-shifted emission lines of Fe-group elements.
