本文介绍了我们对AT 2018 cow这一特殊瞬变天体的光度和光谱观测。多波段光度法涵盖从峰值到$\sim$ 70天,光谱法涵盖从5到$\sim$ 50天。快速上升($t_{\mathrm{r}}$ $\lesssim$ 2.9天),高亮度($M_{V,\mathrm{peak}}\sim-$ 20.8等)和峰值后快速下降使AT 2018牛脱颖而出任何其他光学瞬变。同时我们发现它的光变曲线与Ibn型超新星的光变曲线非常相似。此外,光谱能量分布仍然是高温$\sim$ 14,000 K后,$\sim$发现15天。在最初的10天里,光谱是没有特征的,而后来出现了一些由H、He、C和O引起的宽发射线,在我们的观测结束时,速度从$\sim$ 14,000 km s $^{-1}$下降到$\sim$ 3000 km s $^{-1}$。发现后20天,在$t>$的光谱中出现了窄而弱的He I发射线。这些发射线让人联想到在相互作用的超新星中看到的特征,如Ibn型和IIn子类。我们拟合的辐射热光变曲线与模型的拱星相互作用(CSI)和放射性衰变(RD)的\Ni,并找到一个很好的拟合与喷出物质量$M_{\mathrm{ej}}\sim$ 3.16 M $_{\odot}$,拱星材料质量$M_{\mathrm{CSM}}\sim$ 0.04 M $_{\odot}$,和喷出的\Ni质量$M_{^{56}\mathrm{Ni}}\sim$ 0.23 M $_{\odot}$。CSM壳层可能形成于母星的爆发性物质抛射。此外,AT 2018 cow的宿主环境暗示了它与大质量恒星的联系。结合观测特性和光变曲线拟合结果,我们认为AT 2018 cow可能是一颗起源于大质量恒星的奇特的相互作用超新星。
英文摘要:
We present our photometric and spectroscopic observations on the peculiar transient AT2018cow. The multi-band photometry covers from peak to $\sim$70 days and the spectroscopy ranges from 5 to $\sim$50 days. The rapid rise ($t_{\mathrm{r}}$$\lesssim$2.9 days), high luminosity ($M_{V,\mathrm{peak}}\sim-$20.8 mag) and fast decline after peak make AT2018cow stand out of any other optical transients. While we find that its light curves show high resemblance to those of type Ibn supernovae. Moreover, the spectral energy distribution remains high temperature of $\sim$14,000 K after $\sim$15 days since discovery. The spectra are featureless in the first 10 days, while some broad emission lines due to H, He, C and O emerge later, with velocity declining from $\sim$14,000 km s$^{-1}$ to $\sim$3000 km s$^{-1}$ at the end of our observations. Narrow and weak He I emission lines emerge in the spectra at $t>$20 days since discovery. These emission lines are reminiscent of the features seen in interacting supernovae like type Ibn and IIn subclasses. We fit the bolometric light curves with a model of circumstellar interaction (CSI) and radioactive decay (RD) of \Ni and find a good fit with ejecta mass $M_{\mathrm{ej}}\sim$3.16 M$_{\odot}$, circumstellar material mass $M_{\mathrm{CSM}}\sim$0.04 M$_{\odot}$, and ejected \Ni mass $M_{^{56}\mathrm{Ni}}\sim$0.23 M$_{\odot}$. The CSM shell might be formed in an eruptive mass ejection of the progenitor star. Furthermore, host environment of AT2018cow implies connection of AT2018cow with massive stars. Combining observational properties and the light curve fitting results, we conclude that AT2018cow might be a peculiar interacting supernova originated from a massive star.

Signatures of an eruptive phase before the explosion of the peculiar core-collapse SN 2013gc
我们提出了独特的核心塌陷SN 2013 gc的光度和光谱分析,跨越七年的观测。光变曲线显示了一个早期的最大值,随后是一个快速下降和一个几乎恒定的光度阶段。在距最大值+200天时,在所有波段都观察到1等的增亮,然后在+300天后出现急剧的线性光度下降。在爆炸前1.5年到2.5年之间拍摄的档案图像中,在超新星位置可以看到一个弱源,其等为$\approx$ 20。早期的超新星光谱显示巴耳末线,一个狭窄的($\sim$ 560 km s $^{-1}$)P-Cygni吸收叠加在一个广泛的($\sim$ 3400 km s $^{-1}$)组件,典型的IIn型事件。通过对SN 2013 gc的色变曲线、绝对光变曲线和光谱与超新星IIn样品的比较,我们认为SN 2013 gc是IId型超新星的一个成员。H $α$谱线的复杂轮廓表明了一种复合的星周介质几何结构,它结合了低速的球对称气体和更迅速膨胀的双叶特征。这种星周介质分布很可能是通过我们在爆炸前3年直接观察到的重大质量损失事件形成的。SN 2013 gc在所有阶段的亮度适中($M_I\sim-16.5$接近最大值),非常少量的$^{56}$ Ni($10^{-3}$ M $_\odot$的数量级),主要的超新星前恒星活动以及在后期光谱中缺乏突出的[O I]线支持SN 2013 gc的大质量祖先的回落核心塌陷情景。
