摘要:

对32颗Ia型超新星光谱中Na I D 5890、5896和K I 7665、7699星际谱线以及5780埃的弥散星际谱带的高色散观测被用作探测尘埃消光的独立手段。我们发现,尘埃消光的对象,在5780埃的弥漫星际带被检测到的超新星颜色的视觉消光是一致的。这有力地表明,产生灭绝的尘埃主要位于宿主星系的星际介质中,而不是与祖先系统相关的星周物质中。四分之一的超新星显示巨大的Na I柱密度相比,尘埃消光量来自他们的颜色。值得注意的是,所有异常强的Na I D吸收的情况都对应于Sternberg等人(2011)的分类方案中的"蓝移"分布。这一巧合表明,外流的拱星气体是负责至少一些情况下,巨大的钠离子柱密度。两颗具有异常强的Na I D吸收的超新星显示出其颜色所暗示的尘埃消光的K I柱密度基本正常,但这似乎不是一个普遍的特征。总的来说,我们发现最准确的预测个别超新星灭绝是在5780埃的弥漫星际带的等效宽度,并提供了一个经验关系的使用。最后,我们确定的方法产生显着增强的Na丰度的拱星物质在单简并和双简并的情况下的祖系统。

英文摘要:

High-dispersion observations of the Na I D 5890, 5896 and K I 7665, 7699 interstellar lines, and the diffuse interstellar band at 5780 Angstroms in the spectra of 32 Type Ia supernovae are used as an independent means of probing dust extinction. We show that the dust extinction of the objects where the diffuse interstellar band at 5780 Angstroms is detected is consistent with the visual extinction derived from the supernova colors. This strongly suggests that the dust producing the extinction is predominantly located in the interstellar medium of the host galaxies and not in circumstellar material associated with the progenitor system. One quarter of the supernovae display anomalously large Na I column densities in comparison to the amount of dust extinction derived from their colors. Remarkably, all of the cases of unusually strong Na I D absorption correspond to "Blueshifted" profiles in the classification scheme of Sternberg et al. (2011). This coincidence suggests that outflowing circumstellar gas is responsible for at least some of the cases of anomalously large Na I column densities. Two supernovae with unusually strong Na I D absorption showed essentially normal K I column densities for the dust extinction implied by their colors, but this does not appear to be a universal characteristic. Overall, we find the most accurate predictor of individual supernova extinction to be the equivalent width of the diffuse interstellar band at 5780 Angstroms, and provide an empirical relation for its use. Finally, we identify ways of producing significant enhancements of the Na abundance of circumstellar material in both the single-degenerate and double-degenerate scenarios for the progenitor system.
