Type Ibn supernovae (SNe) are a mysterious class of transients whose spectra exhibit persistently narrow HeI lines, and whose bolometric light curves are typically fast evolving and overluminous at peak relative to standard Type Ibc SNe. We explore the interaction scenario of such Type Ibn SNe by performing radiation-hydrodynamics and radiative-transfer calculations. We find that standard-energy helium-star explosions within dense wind-like circumstellar material (CSM) can reach on day timescales a peak luminosity of a few 10^44 erg/s, reminiscent of exceptional events like AT2018cow. Similar interactions but with weaker winds can lead to Type Ibc SNe with double-peak light curves and peak luminosities in the range ~10^42.2 to ~10^43 erg/s. In contrast, the narrow spectral lines and modest peak luminosities of most Type Ibn SNe are suggestive of a low-energy explosion in an initially <~5 Msun helium star, most likely arising from interacting binaries, and colliding with a massive helium-rich, probably ejecta-like, CSM at ~10^15 cm. Nonlocal thermodynamic equilibrium radiative-transfer simulations of a slow-moving dense shell born out and powered by the interaction compare favorably to Type Ibn SNe like 2006jc, 2011hw, or 2018bcc at late times and suggest a composition made of about 50% helium, a solar metallicity, and a total ejecta/CSM mass of 1-2Msun. A lower fractional helium abundance leads to weak or absent HeI lines and thus excludes more massive configurations for observed Type Ibn SNe. Further, the dominance of FeII emission below 5500A seen in Type Ibn SNe at late times is not predicted at low metallicity. Hence, despite their promising properties, Type Ibn SNe from pulsational-pair instability in very massive stars, which requires low metallicity, have probably not yet been observed.

Signatures of Circumstellar Interaction in the Type IIL Supernova ASASSN-15oz
富氢、核心坍缩的超新星通常分为四类:IIP、IIL、IIn和IIb。一般来说,与星周物质的相互作用只被认为是IIn型超新星。然而,最近对IIP和IIL超新星的流体动力学建模需要星周物质来重现它们早期的光变曲线。在这种情况下,IIL超新星在爆炸前经历了大量的质量损失。我们在ASASSN-15 oz上测试了这一假设,这是一颗IIL型超新星。随着X射线、紫外线、光学、红外线和无线电的广泛跟踪,我们提出了我们对相互作用迹象的搜索,以及由它们的检测所指示的质量损失历史。我们发现的证据表明,短暂的激烈的质量损失之前,爆炸的光变曲线建模,相当于在1.5 M $_{\odot}$的材料在1800 R $_{\odot}$的祖先。我们还检测到超新星的无线电,表明质量损失率$10^{-6}-10^{-7}$ M $_{\odot}$年$^{-1}$之前的极端质量损失期。我们未能在X射线中探测到这颗超新星,在紫外线、可见光和近红外线中也没有窄的发射谱线,这些都与这幅图并不矛盾,并在$<10^{-4}$ M $_{\odot}$ yr $^{-1}$的极端周期之外设定了质量损失率的上限。本文强调了收集更多II型超新星的全面数据的重要性,以便详细建模的祖星和超新星,可以阐明他们的质量损失历史和包络结构,从而告知恒星演化模型。
