摘要:

尽管它们被用作宇宙学距离的指示器,在星系的化学演化中具有重要意义,但对正常Ia型超新星(SN Ia)的祖先系统和爆炸机制的明确识别仍然是难以捉摸的。主要的假设是这样的超新星是碳氧白矮星的热核爆炸,但确切的爆炸机制仍然是一个争论的问题。对Ia星系超新星的观测将对回答与这些事件有关的许多悬而未决的问题具有巨大的价值。关于爆炸机制和前身的一个潜在有用的信息来源是中微子信号。在本文中,我们计算预期的中微子信号从重力约束爆炸(GCD)爆炸的情况下,SN~Ia和显示如何在地球上的流量包含功能的时间和能量独特的这种情况。然后,我们计算了Super-K,Hyper-K,JUNO,DUNE和IceCube探测器的预期事件率,发现Hyper-K和IceCube都会在1 kpc或更近的GCD超新星中看到一些事件,而Super-K,JUNO和DUNE会看到一个事件,如果超新星比${\sim}0.3$ kpc更近。讨论了解决爆炸机制、中微子产生和中微子振荡过程所产生的时间和光谱特征所需的距离和探测器判据。然后将来自GCD的中微子信号与先前计算的来自爆燃到爆轰转变(DDT)爆炸模型的信号进行比较。我们发现,总体事件率是两种情况下,其次是事件率的时间结构之间最具区别性的功能。仅使用Hyper-K探测器中的事件率,如果到超新星的距离小于正常质量排序的$2.3\;{\rm kpc}$和颠倒排序的$3.6\;{\rm kpc}$,则DDT可以与2 $σ$处的GCD区分开来。

英文摘要:

Despite their use as cosmological distance indicators and their importance in the chemical evolution of galaxies, the unequivocal identification of the progenitor systems and explosion mechanism of normal type Ia supernova (SN Ia) remains elusive. The leading hypothesis is that such a supernova is a thermonuclear explosion of a carbon-oxygen white dwarf, but the exact explosion mechanism is still a matter of debate. Observation of a galactic SN Ia would be of immense value in answering the many open questions related to these events. One potentially useful source of information about the explosion mechanism and progenitor is the neutrino signal. In this paper we compute the expected neutrino signal from a gravitationally confined detonation (GCD) explosion scenario for a SN~Ia and show how the flux at Earth contains features in time and energy unique to this scenario. We then calculate the expected event rates in the Super-K, Hyper-K, JUNO, DUNE, and IceCube detectors and find both Hyper-K and IceCube would see a few events for a GCD supernova at 1 kpc or closer, while Super-K, JUNO, and DUNE would see a events if the supernova were closer than ${\sim}0.3$ kpc. The distance and detector criteria needed to resolve the time and spectral features arising from the explosion mechanism, neutrino production, and neutrino oscillation processes are also discussed. The neutrino signal from the GCD is then compared with the signal from a deflagration-to-detonation transition (DDT) explosion model computed previously. We find the overall event rate is the most discriminating feature between the two scenarios followed by the event rate time structure. Using the event rate in the Hyper-K detector alone, the DDT can be distinguished from the GCD at 2$σ$ if the distance to the supernova is less than $2.3\;{\rm kpc}$ for a normal mass ordering and $3.6\;{\rm kpc}$ for an inverted ordering.
