摘要:

M82中非常接近的Ia型超新星2014 J提供了一个难得的机会来研究热核超新星在极晚期阶段($\gtrsim$ 800天)的物理学。利用哈勃空间望远镜(HST)对SN 2014 J进行了6个时期的高精度测光,时间跨度从277天到1181天。需要对放射性衰变链$^{57}$ Co $\rightarrow ^{57}$ Fe发射的电子和X射线进行再处理,以解释$F606W$带和伪测辐射热光变曲线的显著平坦化。这种平坦化证实了先前的预测,即Ia型超新星光度的晚期演化需要来自$^{57}$ Co衰变的额外能量输入(Seitenzahl等人,2009)。通过假设$F606W$带光度与$B-$带最大光之后500天的$\sim$处的热光度成比例,需要质量比$^{57}$ Ni/ $^{56}$ Ni $\sim$ 0.065 $_{-0.004}^{+0.005}$。这个质量比大约是太阳质量比的$\sim$ 3倍,有利于一颗质量接近阿格拉塞卡极限的白矮星。使用构建的伪测热光度进行类似的拟合,得到质量比$^{57}$ Ni/ $^{56}$ Ni $\sim$ 0.066 $_{-0.008}^{+0.009}$。基于多历元HST ACS/WFC图像的天体测量测试显示,超新星在0.3 pc和100 pc之间没有显著的星周光回波(Yang et al. 2017)。

英文摘要:

The very nearby Type Ia supernova 2014J in M82 offers a rare opportunity to study the physics of thermonuclear supernovae at extremely late phases ($\gtrsim$800 days). Using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), we obtained six epochs of high precision photometry for SN 2014J from 277 days to 1181 days past the $B-$band maximum light. The reprocessing of electrons and X-rays emitted by the radioactive decay chain $^{57}$Co$\rightarrow ^{57}$Fe are needed to explain the significant flattening of both the $F606W$-band and the pseudo-bolometric light curves. The flattening confirms previous predictions that the late-time evolution of type Ia supernova luminosities requires additional energy input from the decay of $^{57}$Co (Seitenzahl et al. 2009). By assuming the $F606W$-band luminosity scales with the bolometric luminosity at $\sim$500 days after the $B-$band maximum light, a mass ratio $^{57}$Ni/$^{56}$Ni$\sim$0.065$_{-0.004}^{+0.005}$ is required. This mass ratio is roughly $\sim$3 times the solar ratio and favors a progenitor white dwarf with a mass near the Chandrasekhar limit. A similar fit using the constructed pseudo-bolometric luminosity gives a mass ratio $^{57}$Ni/$^{56}$Ni$\sim$0.066$_{-0.008}^{+0.009}$. Astrometric tests based on the multi-epoch HST ACS/WFC images reveal no significant circumstellar light echoes in between 0.3 pc and 100 pc (Yang et al. 2017) from the supernova.
