摘要:

本文用“Abstract Tomography”方法,模拟了奇异的明亮Ia型超新星(SNIa)1991 T爆发前至爆发后一年的光谱,获得了其喷出物中元素的丰度分布。SN 1991 T与其他慢衰的Ia型超新星(如SN 1999 ee)的不同之处在于,它在极大值之前具有较弱的Si II 6355线和较强的铁族元素特征。到SN的距离与丰度和密度剖面一起进行了研究。在最大值附近发生的电离跃迁对光度设定了严格的上限。对W7和WDD 3延迟爆轰模型进行了试验。发现WDD 3提供稍微更好的拟合。在这个模型中,喷出物的核心主要是稳定的铁,其质量约为0.15太阳质量,就像大多数Ia超新星一样。在v~10000 km/s(~0.78太阳质量)的范围内,上层主要是56 Ni。大量的56 Ni(~ 3%)位于外层中。在10000 km/s和~12000 km/s之间的狭窄层主要由中等质量的元素(IME),约0.18太阳质量。这对于超新星Ia来说是很小的。高光度和高电离度,以及在高速下的高56 Ni丰度解释了SN 1991 T独特的早期光谱。外层主要是氧,约0.3太阳质量。碳谱线从未被探测到,因此C的上限为0.01太阳质量。用W7密度模型得到的丰度在性质上与WDD 3模型相似。不同的元素以适度的混合分层,类似于延迟爆炸。

英文摘要:

The abundance distribution of the elements in the ejecta of the peculiar, luminous Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 1991T is obtained modelling spectra from before maximum light until a year after the explosion, with the method of "Abundance Tomography". SN 1991T is different from other slowly declining SNe Ia (e.g. SN 1999ee) in having a weaker Si II 6355 line and strong features of iron group elements before maximum. The distance to the SN is investigated along with the abundances and the density profile. The ionization transition that happens around maximum sets a strict upper limit on the luminosity. Both W7 and the WDD3 delayed detonation model are tested. WDD3 is found to provide marginally better fits. In this model the core of the ejecta is dominated by stable Fe with a mass of about 0.15 solar masses, as in most SNe Ia. The layer above is mainly 56Ni up to v~10000 km/s (~0.78 solar masses). A significant amount of 56Ni (~3 %) is located in the outer layers. A narrow layer between 10000 km/s and ~12000 km/s is dominated by intermediate mass elements (IME), ~0.18 solar masses. This is small for a SN Ia. The high luminosity and the consequently high ionization, and the high 56Ni abundance at high velocities explain the peculiar early-time spectra of SN 1991T. The outer part is mainly of oxygen, ~0.3 solar masses. Carbon lines are never detected, yielding an upper limit of 0.01 solar masses for C. The abundances obtained with the W7 density model are qualitatively similar to those of the WDD3 model. Different elements are stratified with moderate mixing, resembling a delayed detonation.
