我们呈现了詹姆斯·韦布空间望远镜（JWST）对Ia型超新星（SN Ia）2025rbs（距离D=14.5 Mpc）的观测，观测时间为B波段极大光度后+1天、+23天和+84天，覆盖了峰值光度到向星云相的波长依赖过渡阶段。结合地面光学和近红外（NIR）数据，我们的全光谱（0.4-14 μm）包含了迄今为止Ia型超新星的首个极大光度时的中红外（MIR）光谱以及最早的MIR光谱序列。在峰值光度时，MIR光谱呈现出包含允许和禁戒特征的连续谱，包括Si II、Ni II以及早期出现的[Ni III-IV]和[Ar II-III]。到+23天时，MIR以弱连续谱的禁戒线为主；到+84天时，它完全进入星云相，而光学/NIR光谱仍处于过渡阶段。星云光谱显示出强烈分层的抛射物，稳定的Ni集中在最低速度处，放射性Co位于中间速度但在~2000 km s⁻¹范围内缺失，Ar则占据外层壳层。我们在[Ca IV] 3.21 μm处检测到小尺度子结构，其分数振幅为百分之几，特征速度尺度约为800 km s⁻¹，这可能反映了成分结构、电离变化或两者兼而有之。尽管辐射传输计算大致重现了NIR Mg II 1.0927 μm线，但仍大幅低估了这些MIR Mg II特征，表明这些跃迁的相对强度对Mg电离和激发的处理方式敏感。这些观测表明，从极大光度附近开始的MIR光谱学可同时探测正在出现的内部抛射物和快速衰减的外层燃烧产物，为爆炸模型和辐射传输模型提供新的约束。
英文摘要
We present JWST observations of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2025rbs ($D=$14.5 Mpc) at +1, +23, and +84 days after B-band maximum, spanning peak light through a wavelength-dependent transition toward the nebular phase. Combined with ground-based optical and near-infrared (NIR) data, our panchromatic spectra (0.4-14 $μ$m) include the first maximum-light mid-infrared (MIR) spectrum and the earliest MIR spectroscopic sequence of an SN Ia to date. At peak light, the MIR spectrum exhibits a continuum with permitted and forbidden features, including Si II, Ni II, and early-emerging [Ni III-IV] and [Ar II-III]. By +23 days the MIR is dominated by forbidden lines with a weak continuum, and by +84 days it is fully nebular, whereas the optical/NIR spectra remain transitional. The nebular spectrum reveals strongly stratified ejecta, with stable Ni concentrated at the lowest velocities, radioactive Co at intermediate velocities but absent within ~2000 km s$^{-1}$, and Ar occupying an outer shell. We detect small-scale substructure in [Ca IV] 3.21 $μ$m with fractional amplitudes of a few percent and a characteristic velocity scale of ~800 km s$^{-1}$, which may reflect compositional structure, ionization variations, or both. Radiative-transfer calculations substantially underpredict these MIR Mg II features despite approximately reproducing the NIR Mg II 1.0927 $μ$m line, suggesting that the relative strengths of these transitions are sensitive to the treatment of Mg ionization and excitation. These observations demonstrate that MIR spectroscopy beginning near maximum light simultaneously probes the emerging inner ejecta and rapidly fading outer burning products, providing new constraints for explosion and radiative-transfer models.
