摘要:

本文报道了第一颗光谱学证实的红移z~2的无氢超亮超新星(SLSN-Ⅰ)DES 16 C2 nm的观测结果。DES 16 C2 nm是由暗能量巡天(DES)超新星计划发现的,后续的光度数据来自哈勃太空望远镜、双子座和欧洲南方天文台甚大望远镜,补充了DES的数据。光谱观察证实DES 16 C2 nm在z=1.998处,并且在光谱上类似于Gaia 16 apd(在z=0.102处的SLSN-1),具有U=-22.26 $\pm$ 0.06的峰绝对量值。DES 16 C2 nm的高红移为研究SLSNe-I的紫外(UV)性质提供了一个独特的机会。结合DES 16 C2 nm与文献中的10个类似事件,我们发现在UV(~ 2500 A)中存在均匀的SLSNe-I类,在(静止帧)U带具有峰值亮度,并且增加对较短波长的吸收。没有证据表明SLSNe-I的平均光度和光谱特性在低红移(z<1)和高红移(z>1)之间有差异,但有明确的证据表明在<2000 A的光谱中存在差异,可能是由事件之间的温度变化引起的。谱线速度和光度光度之间没有明显的相关性。使用这些数据,我们估计SLSNe-I可以通过DES发现z=3.8。虽然SLSNe-I通常在低红移(z<1)时从它们的蓝色观测颜色中识别出来,但我们强调,在z>2时,这些事件出现光学红色,在双标架z波段达到峰值。这些特征对于未来的大型综合巡天望远镜、欧几里得望远镜和宽视场红外巡天望远镜等设施识别这些天体至关重要,它们应该分别探测到z=3.5、3.7和6.6的SLSNe-I。

英文摘要:

We present observations of DES16C2nm, the first spectroscopically confirmed hydrogen-free superluminous supernova (SLSN-I) at redshift z~2. DES16C2nm was discovered by the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Supernova Program, with follow-up photometric data from the Hubble Space Telescope, Gemini, and the European Southern Observatory Very Large Telescope supplementing the DES data. Spectroscopic observations confirm DES16C2nm to be at z=1.998, and spectroscopically similar to Gaia16apd (a SLSN-I at z=0.102), with a peak absolute magnitude of U=-22.26$\pm$0.06. The high redshift of DES16C2nm provides a unique opportunity to study the ultraviolet (UV) properties of SLSNe-I. Combining DES16C2nm with ten similar events from the literature, we show that there exists a homogeneous class of SLSNe-I in the UV (~2500A), with peak luminosities in the (rest-frame) U band, and increasing absorption to shorter wavelengths. There is no evidence that the mean photometric and spectroscopic properties of SLSNe-I differ between low (z<1) and high redshift (z>1), but there is clear evidence of diversity in the spectrum at <2000A, possibly caused by the variations in temperature between events. No significant correlations are observed between spectral line velocities and photometric luminosity. Using these data, we estimate that SLSNe-I can be discovered to z=3.8 by DES. While SLSNe-I are typically identified from their blue observed colors at low redshift (z<1), we highlight that at z>2 these events appear optically red, peaking in the observer-frame z-band. Such characteristics are critical to identify these objects with future facilities such as the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, Euclid, and the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope, which should detect such SLSNe-I to z=3.5, 3.7, and 6.6, respectively.
