Swift超新星的第一个十年

The First Ten Years of Swift Supernovae

Peter J. Brown, Peter W. A. Roming, Peter A. Milne

摘要:

雨燕伽马射线暴探测器已被证明是研究超新星爆炸多波长特性的一个令人难以置信的平台。在最初的10年里,Swift观测到了300多颗超新星。紫外线观测揭示了超新星类型和类别的复杂多样性。即使在标准的烛光型Ia超新星中,紫外线观测也揭示了不同的群体。当UVOT数据与更高的红移光学数据相结合时,这些群体的相对人口似乎随着红移而变化。在核心坍缩的超新星中,斯威夫特发现了两颗超新星的冲击爆发,斯威夫特的数据显示了从地面发现的超新星的冲击爆发的冷却阶段的多样性,并迅速跟进斯威夫特。Swift观测产生了令人难以置信的紫外和X射线数据集,可与高红移超新星观测和理论模型进行比较。斯威夫特的超新星计划有可能极大地提高我们对恒星生命和死亡以及宇宙历史的理解。

英文摘要:

The Swift Gamma Ray Burst Explorer has proven to be an incredible platform for studying the multiwavelength properties of supernova explosions. In its first ten years, Swift has observed over three hundred supernovae. The ultraviolet observations reveal a complex diversity of behavior across supernova types and classes. Even amongst the standard candle type Ia supernovae, ultraviolet observations reveal distinct groups. When the UVOT data is combined with higher redshift optical data, the relative populations of these groups appear to change with redshift. Among core-collapse supernovae, Swift discovered the shock breakout of two supernovae and the Swift data show a diversity in the cooling phase of the shock breakout of supernovae discovered from the ground and promptly followed up with Swift. Swift observations have resulted in an incredible dataset of UV and X-ray data for comparison with high-redshift supernova observations and theoretical models. Swift's supernova program has the potential to dramatically improve our understanding of stellar life and death as well as the history of our universe.
