- Description:
- Using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and the Large Binocular Telescope, we followed the evolution of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2011fe for an unprecedented 1840 days past B-band maximum light and over a factor of 7 million in flux. At 1840 days, the 4000-17000{AA} quasi-bolometric luminosity is just (420+/-20)L_{sun}_. By measuring the late-time quasi-bolometric light curve, we present the first confident detection of ^57^Co decay in a SN Ia light curve and estimate a mass ratio of log(^57^Co/^56^Co)=-1.59_-0.07_^+0.06^. We do not have a clean detection of ^55^Fe, but find a limit of ^55^Fe/^57^Co<0.22 with 99% confidence. These abundance ratios provide unique constraints on the progenitor system because the central density of the exploding white dwarf(s) dictates these nucleosynthetic yields. The observed ratios strongly prefer the lower central densities of double-degenerate models (^55^Fe/^57^Co=0.27) over the higher central densities of near-Chandrasekhar-mass single-degenerate models (^55^Fe/^57^Co=0.68). However, additional theoretical studies predicting isotopic yields from a broader range of progenitor systems are motivated by these unique observations. We will continue to observe SN 2011fe for another ~600 days with HST and possibly beyond.

- Description:
- We present densely sampled UBVRI/griz photometric and low-resolution (6-10{AA}) optical spectroscopic observations from 4 to 270d after explosion of a newly discovered Type II SN 2012aw in a nearby (~9.9Mpc) galaxy M95. The light-curve characteristics of apparent magnitudes, colours, bolometric luminosity and the presence and evolution of prominent spectral features are found to have striking similarity with the archetypal IIP SNe 1999em, 1999gi and 2004et. The early time observations of SN 2012aw clearly detect minima in the light curve of V, R and I bands near 37d after explosion and this we suggest to be an observational evidence for emergence of recombination phase. The mid-plateau M_V_ magnitude (-16.67+/-0.04) lies in between the bright (~-18) and subluminous (~-15) IIP SNe. The mass of nickel is 0.06+/-0.01M{sun}. The synow modelling of spectra indicate that the value and evolution of the photospheric velocity is similar to SN 2004et, but about ~600km/s higher than that of SNe 1999em and 1999gi at comparable epochs. This trend is more apparent in the line velocities of H{alpha} and H{beta}. A comparison of ejecta velocity properties with that of existing radiation-hydrodynamical simulations indicate that the energy of explosion lies in the range 1-2x10^51^ergs; a further comparison of nebular phase [OI] doublet luminosity with SNe 2004et and 1987A indicate that the mass of progenitor star is about 14 to 15M_{sun}_. The presence of high-velocity absorption features in the mid-to-late plateau and possibly in early phase spectra show signs of interaction between ejecta and the circumstellar matter; being consistent with its early time detection at X-ray and radio wavebands.

- Description:
- We present optical observations of the Type Ia supernova (SN) 2019ein, starting two days after the estimated explosion date. The spectra and light curves show that SN 2019ein belongs to a high-velocity (HV) and broad-line group with a relatively rapid decline in the light curves ({Delta}m_15_(B)=1.36+/-0.02mag) and a short rise time (15.37+/-0.55days). The SiII{lambda}6355 velocity, associated with a photospheric component but not with a detached high-velocity feature, reached ~20000km/s 12 days before the B-band maximum. The line velocity, however, decreased very rapidly and smoothly toward maximum light, to ~13000km/s, which is relatively low among HV SNe. This indicates that the speed of the spectral evolution of HV SNe Ia is correlated with not only the velocity at maximum light, but also the light-curve decline rate, as is the case for normal-velocity (NV) SNeIa. Spectral synthesis modeling shows that the outermost layer at >17000km/s is well described by an O-Ne-C burning layer extending to at least 25000km/s, and there is no unburnt carbon below 30000km/s; these properties are largely consistent with the delayed detonation scenario and are shared with the prototypical HV SN 2002bo despite the large difference in {Delta}m_15_(B). This structure is strikingly different from that derived for the well-studied NV SN 2011fe. We suggest that the relation between the mass of ^56^Ni (or {Delta}m_15_) and the extent of the O-Ne-C burning layer provides an important constraint on the explosion mechanism(s) of HV and NV SNe.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present early-time optical and near-infrared photometry of supernova (SN) 2005cf. The observations, spanning a period from about 12d before to 3 months after maximum, have been obtained through the coordination of observational efforts of various nodes of the European Supernova Collaboration and including data obtained at the 2-m Himalayan Chandra Telescope. From the observed light curve we deduce that SN 2005cf is a fairly typical SN Ia with a post-maximum decline [{delta}m15(B)true=1.12] close to the average value and a normal luminosity of M_B,max_=-19.39+/-0.33. Models of the bolometric light curve suggest a synthesized ^56^Ni mass of about 0.7M_{sun}_. The negligible host galaxy interstellar extinction and its proximity make SN 2005cf a good Type Ia SN template.

- Description:
- CCD UBVRI photometry is presented for type IIb SN 2011dh for about 300 days. The main photometric parameters are derived and the comparison with SNe of similar types is reported. The light curves are similar to those for SN IIb 2008ax, but the initial flash is stronger and very short, and there are humps on the light curves in U and B at the onset of linear decline. Preliminary modeling is carried out, and the results are compared to the quasi-bolometric light curve and to the light curves in UBVRI bands.

- Description:
- 1987A-like events form a rare sub-group of hydrogen-rich core-collapse supernovae that are thought to originate from the explosion of blue supergiant stars. Although SN 1987A is the best known supernova, very few objects of this group have been discovered and, hence, studied. In this paper we investigate the properties of SN 2009E, which exploded in a relatively nearby spiral galaxy (NGC 4141) and that is probably the faintest 1987A-like supernova discovered so far. We also attempt to characterize this subgroup of core-collapse supernovae with the help of the literature and present new data for a few additional objects. The lack of early-time observations from professional telescopes is compensated by frequent follow-up observations performed by a number of amateur astronomers. This allows us to reconstruct a well-sampled light curve for SN 2009E. Spectroscopic observations which started about 2 months after the supernova explosion, highlight significant differences between SN 2009E and the prototypical SN 1987A. Modelling the data of SN 2009E allows us to constrain the explosion parameters and the properties of the progenitor star, and compare the inferred estimates with those available for the similar SNe 1987A and 1998A. The light curve of SN 2009E is less luminous than that of SN 1987A and the other members of this class, and the maximum light curve peak is reached at a slightly later epoch than in SN 1987A. Late-time photometric observations suggest that SN 2009E ejected about 0.04M_{sun}_ of ^56^Ni, which is the smallest ^56^Ni mass in our sample of 1987A-like events. Modelling the observations with a radiation hydrodynamics code, we infer for SN 2009E a kinetic plus thermal energy of about 0.6 foe, an initial radius of ~7x10^12^cm and an ejected mass of ~19M_{sun}_. The photospheric spectra show a number of narrow (v~1800km/s) metal lines, with unusually strong BaII lines. The nebular spectrum displays narrow emission lines of H, NaI, [CaII] and [OI], with the [OI] feature being relatively strong compared to the [CaII] doublet. The overall spectroscopic evolution is reminiscent of that of the faint ^56^Ni-poor type II-plateau supernovae. This suggests that SN 2009E belongs to the low-luminosity, low ^56^Ni mass, low-energy tail in the distribution of the 1987A-like objects in the same manner as SN 1997D and similar events represent the faint tail in the distribution of physical properties for normal type II-plateau supernovae.
