There is a growing number of peculiar events that cannot be assigned to any of the main supernova (SN) classes. SN 1987A and a handful of similar objects, thought to be explosive outcomes of blue supergiant stars, belong to them: while their spectra closely resemble those of H-rich (IIP) SNe, their light-curve (LC) evolution is very different. Here we present the detailed photometric and spectroscopic analysis of SN 2021aatd, a peculiar Type II explosion: while its early-time evolution resembles that of the slowly evolving, double-peaked SN 2020faa (however, at a lower luminosity scale), after $\sim$40 days, its LC shape becomes similar to that of SN 1987A-like explosions. Beyond comparing LCs, color curves, and spectra of SN 2021aatd to that of SNe 2020faa, 1987A, and of other objects, we compare the observed spectra with our own SYN++ models and with the outputs of published radiative transfer models. We also modeled the pseudo-bolometric LCs of SNe 2021aatd and 1987A assuming a two-component (core+shell) ejecta, and involving the rotational energy of a newborn magnetar in addition to radioactive decay. We find that both the photometric and spectroscopic evolution of SN 2021aatd can be well described with the explosion of a $\sim$15 $M_\odot$ blue supergiant star. Nevertheless, SN 2021aatd shows higher temperatures and weaker Na ID and Ba II 6142 A lines than SN 1987A, which is reminiscent of rather to IIP-like atmospheres. With the applied two-component ejecta model (counting with both decay and magnetar energy), we can successfully describe the bolometric LC of SN 2021aatd, including the first $\sim$40-day long phase showing an excess compared to 87A-like SNe but being strikingly similar to that of the long-lived SN 2020faa. Nevertheless, finding a unified model that also explains the LCs of more luminous events (like SN 2020faa) is still a matter of concern.
The peculiar Ca-rich SN 2019ehk: Evidence for a Type IIb core-collapse supernova from a low mass stripped progenitor
附近星系M100中奇特的“富钙”SN 2019 ehk的性质仍然不清楚。它的起源一直在争论,要么是剥离的核心坍缩超新星,要么是热核氦爆炸事件。在这里,我们提出了非常晚的时间测光的瞬态获得的凯克我望远镜在$\approx280$天从峰值光。利用测光法对同时期的星云相位谱进行精确的通量定标,在不确定的消光范围内沿视线方向测量了$(0.19-1.08)\times10^{38}$ erg s $^{-1}$的[O I]光度和$(2.7-15.6)\times10^{38}$ erg s $^{-1}$的[Ca II]光度。我们使用这些测量来推导合成的氧质量的下限$\approx0.004-0.069$ M $_\odot$。氧质量是一个敏感的示踪剂的祖质量的核心坍缩超新星,我们的估计是一致的爆炸非常低质量的CO核心的$1.45-1.5$ M $_\odot$,对应于He核心质量的$\approx1.8-2.0$ M $_\odot$。我们提出了高质量的峰值光光谱的瞬态和突出的特点,氢在早期(“闪光”)和光球相光谱,这表明存在的$\gtrsim0.02$ M $_\odot$的氢在祖在爆炸的时候。在星云阶段,H的存在以及[Ca II]/[O I]的大比值($\approx10-15$)与SN 2019 ehk是一颗IIb型核心坍缩超新星的一致性,它来自剥离的低质量($\approx9-9.…
Signatures of an eruptive phase before the explosion of the peculiar core-collapse SN 2013gc
我们提出了独特的核心塌陷SN 2013 gc的光度和光谱分析,跨越七年的观测。光变曲线显示了一个早期的最大值,随后是一个快速下降和一个几乎恒定的光度阶段。在距最大值+200天时,在所有波段都观察到1等的增亮,然后在+300天后出现急剧的线性光度下降。在爆炸前1.5年到2.5年之间拍摄的档案图像中,在超新星位置可以看到一个弱源,其等为$\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。
