摘要:

富钙瞬变超新星(英语:Calcium-rich transients)是一类新的超新星,以其相对快速的演化、适度的峰值亮度和强的星云钙发射线而闻名。目前,富钙瞬变的祖系统仍然未知。虽然它们的光谱特性与核心坍缩的Ib/c型超新星没有什么不同,但几乎一半的超新星都是在其主星系的外围发现的,主星系主要是椭圆形的,这表明它们与Ia型超新星的更古老的恒星星族有着更密切的联系。在本文中,我们提出了一个汇编的公开可用的多波长观测的所有已知的和/或可疑的宿主星系的富钙瞬变范围从FUV到IR,并使用这些数据来表征其恒星星族与探矿者。我们估计几个星系参数,包括综合恒星形成率,恒星质量,金属丰度和年龄。对于9个宿主星系,观测是足够敏感的,以获得非参数恒星形成的历史,从中我们恢复SN率和估计的概率,在这些宿主星系中的每一个丰富的钙瞬变起源于核心崩溃与IA型爆炸。我们的工作支持的概念,人口丰富的钙瞬变不完全来自核心坍缩爆炸,必须要么只从白矮星星或混合人口的白矮星星与其他渠道,可能包括大规模的恒星爆炸。更多的测光和爆炸现场光谱的较大样本的富钙宿主星系将改善这些估计,并更好地约束比白矮星与大质量恒星祖先的富钙瞬变。

英文摘要:

Calcium-rich (Ca-rich) transients are a new class of supernovae (SNe) that are known for their comparatively rapid evolution, modest peak luminosities, and strong nebular calcium emission lines. Currently, the progenitor systems of Ca-rich transients remain unknown. Although they exhibit spectroscopic properties not unlike core-collapse Type Ib/c SNe, nearly half are found in the outskirts of their host galaxies that are predominantly elliptical, suggesting a closer connection to the older stellar populations of SNe Ia. In this paper, we present a compilation of publicly available multiwavelength observations of all known and/or suspected host galaxies of Ca-rich transients ranging from FUV to IR, and use these data to characterize their stellar populations with prospector. We estimate several galaxy parameters including integrated star formation rate, stellar mass, metallicity, and age. For nine host galaxies, the observations are sensitive enough to obtain nonparametric star formation histories, from which we recover SN rates and estimate probabilities that the Ca-rich transients in each of these host galaxies originated from a core-collapse vs. Type Ia-like explosion. Our work supports the notion that the population of Ca-rich transients do not come exclusively from core-collapse explosions, and must either be only from white dwarf stars or a mixed population of white dwarf stars with other channels, potentially including massive star explosions. Additional photometry and explosion site spectroscopy of larger samples of Ca-rich host galaxies will improve these estimates and better constrain the ratio of white dwarf vs. massive star progenitors of Ca-rich transients.
