摘要:

相对论SNe和GRB的动力机制的潜在相似性使我们能够预测相对论SNe诞生于与GRB相似的环境中,即富含原子气体的环境。在这里,我们开始测试这个假设,通过分析相对论SN 2009bb的宿主星系NGC 3278的属性。这是第一次提供相对论SN主体的原子气体性质,并且第一次为SN位置背景下的任何类型的SN主体提供分辨的21 cm氢线(HI)信息。我们用ATCA获得了覆盖HI线的射电观测,用MUSE获得了光学积分场单位谱观测。NGC 3278的原子气体分布并不集中在光学星系中心,而是大约三分之一的原子气体分布在靠近SN位置的区域。这个星系的原子和分子气体质量比它的SFR预测的要低几倍。SN 2009 bb爆炸的位置接近SFR密度最高、年龄最低的区域(约550万年,相当于其前身星的初始质量约36 Mo)。至于GRB宿主,NGC 3278的气体性质与最近从星系际介质流入的气体一致,这解释了SN位置附近原子气体的浓度和增强的SFR。SN位置的超太阳金属丰度(与大多数伽玛暴不同)可能意味着相对论爆炸标志着最近的气体流入(以及随后的恒星形成),以及它们的类型(GRB或SN e)由i)流入气体的金属含量确定,使得贫金属气体导致GRB爆炸,而富金属气体导致相对论SN爆炸,而没有伴随的GRB,或ii)气体混合的效率,或iii)星系的类型。

英文摘要:

The potential similarity of the powering mechanisms of relativistic SNe and GRBs allowed us to make a prediction that relativistic SNe are born in environments similar to those of GRBs, that is, ones which are rich in atomic gas. Here we embark on testing this hypothesis by analysing the properties of the host galaxy NGC 3278 of the relativistic SN 2009bb. This is the first time the atomic gas properties of a relativistic SN host are provided and the first time resolved 21 cm-hydrogen-line (HI) information is provided for a host of an SN of any type in the context of the SN position. We obtained radio observations with ATCA covering the HI line, and optical integral field unit spectroscopy observations with MUSE. The atomic gas distribution of NGC 3278 is not centred on the optical galaxy centre, but instead around a third of atomic gas resides in the region close to the SN position. This galaxy has a few times lower atomic and molecular gas masses than predicted from its SFR. SN 2009bb exploded close to the region with the highest SFR density and the lowest age (~5.5 Myr, corresponding to the initial mass of the progenitor star ~36 Mo). As for GRB hosts, the gas properties of NGC 3278 are consistent with a recent inflow of gas from the intergalactic medium, which explains the concentration of atomic gas close to the SN position and the enhanced SFR. Super-solar metallicity at the position of the SN (unlike for most GRBs) may mean that relativistic explosions signal a recent inflow of gas (and subsequent star formation), and their type (GRBs or SNe) is determined either i) by the metallicity of the inflowing gas, so that metal-poor gas results in a GRB explosion and metal-rich gas results in a relativistic SN explosion without an accompanying GRB, or ii) by the efficiency of gas mixing, or iii) by the type of the galaxy.
