摘要:

当一颗具有零年龄主序星质量$M_{\rm ZAMS} \gtrsim 8M_\odot$的大质量恒星核心的核燃料耗尽时,铁或镁核心的中心部分坍塌并形成中子星或黑洞。与此同时,坍缩核心上方的物质被迅速喷出,如果恒星的外层氢包层在爆炸前被移除,就会导致剥离包层超新星(SESN)爆炸。这个包层可能是通过强烈的恒星风或由于质量转移到近距离双星轨道上的伴星而被剥离的。目前尚不清楚哪个过程是主导的,以及不同的机制是否在不同类别的SESNe中起作用; IIb型,Ib型和Ic型SNe以增加包膜剥离程度的顺序。在这项工作中,提出了一种新的分析晚时间星云光谱的SESNe,这是更敏感的核心结构的差异比早期阶段的光谱分析。结果表明,SNe IIb和Ib的前身核除了氢包层的剩余量外,没有什么区别,而SNe Ic的前身核不仅缺乏氢和氦,而且质量明显大于SNe IIb和Ib。这些发现强烈表明,有不止一种机制负责去除外层氢包层和更深的氦层,前者最有可能是由于双星相互作用,而后者涉及质量依赖的过程,如强烈的恒星风或偶发性的爆炸前物质抛射。

英文摘要:

When nuclear fuel in the core of a massive star with a zero-age main-sequence mass $M_{\rm ZAMS} \gtrsim 8M_\odot$ is exhausted, the central part of the iron or magnesium core collapses and forms a neutron star or a black hole. At the same time, the material above the collapsing core is rapidly ejected, leading to a stripped-envelope supernova (SESN) explosion if the outer hydrogen envelope of the star was removed before its explosion. The envelope is presumably stripped either via strong stellar winds or due to mass transfer to a companion star in a close binary orbit. It is not clear which process is dominant, and whether different mechanisms are at work for different classes of SESNe; type IIb, Ib, and Ic SNe in order of increasing degree of envelope stripping. In this work, a new analysis of late-time nebular spectra of SESNe is presented, which is more sensitive to differences in the core structure than early-phase spectral analysis. The results show that the progenitors of SNe IIb and Ib are indistinguishable except for the residual amount of hydrogen envelope while the progenitors of SNe Ic are not only deficient in hydrogen and helium, but are also distinctly more massive than SNe IIb and Ib. These findings strongly suggest that more than one mechanism is responsible for the removal of the outer hydrogen envelope and the deeper helium layer, with the former most likely due to binary interaction, and the latter involving a mass-dependent process such as strong stellar winds or episodic pre-explosion mass ejection.
