摘要:

超新星的逆康普顿X射线辐射模型已经建立了30多年,用来解释许多超新星的X射线性质。然而,还没有发现任何观测案例将X射线与可见光联系起来。在这里,我们报告了一个与II-b型超新星有关的硬X射线源的发现。在超新星爆炸后20天,X射线和光学光变曲线都发现了同时的发射增强。虽然增强的X射线很可能是由超新星的光从II-b型第二峰的逆康普顿散射为主,我们提出了一个方案的高速超新星喷出物与低密度的前超新星恒星风碰撞,产生光学薄和高温电子气的康普顿化。推断的恒星风质量损失率与哈勃太空望远镜探测到的黄超巨星超新星祖先候选者一致,为祖先提供了独立的证据。这也是超新星早期阶段逆康普顿辐射的新证据。

英文摘要:

The inverse-Compton X-ray emission model for supernovae has been well established to explain the X-ray properties of many supernovae for over 30 years. However, no observational case has yet been found to connect the X-rays with the optical lights as they should be. Here, we report the discovery of a hard X-ray source that is associated with a Type II-b supernova. Simultaneous emission enhancements have been found in both the X-ray and optical light curves twenty days after the supernova explosion. While the enhanced X-rays are likely dominated by inverse-Compton scatterings of the supernova's lights from the Type II-b secondary peak, we propose a scenario of a high-speed supernova ejecta colliding with a low-density pre-supernova stellar wind that produces an optically thin and high-temperature electron gas for the Comptonization. The inferred stellar wind mass-loss rate is consistent with that of the supernova progenitor candidate as a yellow supergiant detected by the Hubble Space Telescope, providing an independent proof for the progenitor. This is also new evidence of the inverse-Compton emission during the early phase of a supernova.
