摘要:

我们报告的第三个时代VLBI观测的射电明亮的超新星SN 2011dh位于附近(7.8百万秒差距)星系M51。观测是在爆炸后的$t=453$ d以8.4 GHz的频率进行的。我们获得了SN 2011dh外壳的相当好的分辨率图像,使其成为最近仅有的六颗超新星之一,其喷出物的分辨率图像可用。SN 2011dh有着相对清晰的外壳形态,轮廓几乎是圆形,尽管在山脊周围可能有一些亮度不对称。通过将一个球壳模型直接拟合到可见度测量值上,我们确定SN 2011 dh的射电辐射角半径为$636 \pm 29$ $μ$。在7.8 Mpc的距离处,该角半径对应于$(7.4 \pm 0.3) \times 10^{16}$ cm的线性半径和$19000^{+2800}_{-2400}$ kms $^{-1}$的爆炸以来的平均膨胀速度。我们结合我们的VLBI测量SN 2011 dh的半径与无线电频谱能量分布的假设下,同步自吸收谱确定的值,并发现所有的半径是一致的幂律演化,与$R \sim t^{0.97\pm0.01}$,这意味着几乎自由膨胀期间$t=4$ d至453 d。

英文摘要:

We report on third epoch VLBI observations of the radio-bright supernova SN 2011dh located in the nearby (7.8 Mpc) galaxy M51. The observations took place at $t=453$ d after the explosion and at a frequency of 8.4 GHz. We obtained a fairly well resolved image of the shell of SN 2011dh, making it one of only six recent supernovae for which resolved images of the ejecta are available. SN 2011dh has a relatively clear shell morphology, being almost circular in outline, although there may be some asymmetry in brightness around the ridge. By fitting a spherical shell model directly to the visibility measurements we determine the angular radius of SN 2011dh's radio emission to be $636 \pm 29$ $μ$as. At a distance of 7.8 Mpc, this angular radius corresponds to a linear radius of $(7.4 \pm 0.3) \times 10^{16}$ cm and an average expansion velocity since the explosion of $19000^{+2800}_{-2400}$ kms$^{-1}$. We combine our VLBI measurements of SN 2011dh's radius with values determined from the radio spectral energy distribution under the assumption of a synchrotron-self-absorbed spectrum, and find all the radii are consistent with a power-law evolution, with $R \sim t^{0.97\pm0.01}$, implying almost free expansion over the period $t=4$ d to 453 d.
