超新星1993J4月15日光谱的模型拟合

本文利用蒙特卡罗光谱合成方法，对１９９３年由哈勃空间望远镜和里克天文台同时得到的超新星１９９３Ｊ的紫外及光学波段的光谱，进行研究并将拟合的结果与别人的模型进行了比较。假设太阳丰度及幂律为２０左右的大气密度结构，模型可以与观测较好地符合。通过计算得到光球速度为９５００ｋｍｓ－１左右，光谱的黑体温度为７９９０Ｋ。对于强线如Ｈα及ＨｅＩλ５８７６的特殊谱线轮廓，我们发现大气结构需要是双幂律的，即光球外陡降的内层大气外面，密度变化相当平缓。内外大气的幂律近似为２０和３，交界点在１３０００ｋｍｓ－１左右。外层平缓的大气同时起到了使远紫外光谱变得像观测到的那样平滑的作用。

超新星SN1993J的光谱观测

SN1993J was first discovered by a Spanish amateur astronomer F. Garcia in NGC3031 (M81) on March 28, 1993. It's the closest supernova in the northern hemisphere since 1937. Because of its many special properties, it drove attentions of astronomers when it was discovered.     

用Monte Carlo方法拟合超新星SN 1993J的早期光谱

通过把从光球辐射出来的连续谱能量分成大量的光子包，然后用MonteCarlo方法跟踪这些光子包从光球向超新星包层外运动的过程，这一方法能很好地解决超新星的光谱拟合中的谱线覆盖问题，由于同时编制了用于构造超新星包层中的密度结构和丰度分布的程序，以及大量的用于比较观测和理论拟合的绘图和支持程序，使我们的MonteCarlo光谱拟合软件包能够很好地运用于超新星的早期光谱研究。本文给出了SN1993J在1993年4月13日的观测光谱的运行实例。

SN 2005cs in M51 – I. The first month of evolution of a subluminous SN II plateau

Early-time optical observations of supernova (SN) 2005cs in the Whirlpool Galaxy (M51) are reported. Photometric data suggest that SN 2005cs is a moderately underluminous Type II plateau SN (SN IIP). The SN was unusually blue at early epochs (   U − B ≈−0.9  about three days after explosion) which indicates very high continuum temperatures. The spectra show relatively narrow P Cygni features, suggesting ejecta velocities lower than observed in more typical SNe IIP. The earliest spectra show weak absorption features in the blue wing of the He  i 5876-Å absorption component and, less clearly, of Hβ and Hα. Based on spectral modelling, two different interpretations can be proposed: these features may either be due to high-velocity H and He  i components, or (more likely) be produced by different ions (N  ii , Si  ii ). Analogies with the low-luminosity, ⁵⁶Ni-poor, low-velocity SNe IIP are also discussed. While a more extended spectral coverage is necessary in order to determine accurately the properties of the progenitor star, published estimates of the progenitor mass seem not to be consistent with stellar evolution models.     

Massive stars exploding in a He-rich circumstellar medium – I. Type Ibn (SN 2006jc-like) events

We present new spectroscopic and photometric data of the Type Ibn supernovae 2006jc, 2000er and 2002ao. We discuss the general properties of this recently proposed supernova family, which also includes SN 1999cq. The early-time monitoring of SN 2000er traces the evolution of this class of objects during the first few days after the shock breakout. An overall similarity in the photometric and spectroscopic evolution is found among the members of this group, which would be unexpected if the energy in these core-collapse events was dominated by the interaction between supernova ejecta and circumstellar medium. Type Ibn supernovae appear to be rather normal Type Ib/c supernova explosions which occur within a He-rich circumstellar environment. SNe Ibn are therefore likely produced by the explosion of Wolf–Rayet progenitors still embedded in the He-rich material lost by the star in recent mass-loss episodes, which resemble known luminous blue variable eruptions. The evolved Wolf–Rayet star could either result from the evolution of a very massive star or be the more evolved member of a massive binary system. We also suggest that there are a number of arguments in favour of a Type Ibn classification for the historical SN 1885A (S-Andromedae), previously considered as an anomalous Type Ia event with some resemblance to SN 1991bg.     

SN 1998A: explosion of a blue supergiant

We present spectroscopic and photometric observations of the peculiar Type II supernova (SN) 1998A. The light curves and spectra closely resemble those of SN 1987A, suggesting that the SN 1998A progenitor exploded when it was a compact blue supergiant. However, the comparison with SN 1987A also highlights some important differences: SN 1998A is more luminous and the spectra show bluer continua and larger expansion velocities at all epochs. These observational properties indicate that the explosion of SN 1998A is more energetic than SN 1987A and more typical of Type II supernovae. Comparing the observational data with simulations, we deduce that the progenitor of SN 1998A was a massive star  (∼25 M_⊙)  with a small pre-supernova radius  (≲6 × 10¹² cm)  . The Ba  ii lines, unusually strong in SN 1987A and some faint II-P events, are almost normal in the case of SN 1998A, indicating that the temperature plays a key role in determining their strength.     

Massive stars exploding in a He-rich circumstellar medium – II. The transitional case of SN 2005la

We present photometric and spectroscopic data of the peculiar SN 2005la, an object which shows an optical light curve with some luminosity fluctuations and spectra with comparably strong narrow hydrogen and helium lines, probably of circumstellar nature. The increasing full width at half-maximum velocity of these lines is indicative of an acceleration of the circumstellar material. SN 2005la exhibits hybrid properties, sharing some similarities with both Type IIn supernovae and 2006jc-like (Type Ibn) events. We propose that the progenitor of SN 2005la was a very young Wolf–Rayet (WN-type) star which experienced mass ejection episodes shortly before core collapse.     

SN 2005cs in M51 – II. Complete evolution in the optical and the near-infrared

We present the results of the one-year long observational campaign of the type II plateau SN 2005cs, which exploded in the nearby spiral galaxy M51 (the Whirlpool galaxy). This extensive data set makes SN 2005cs the best observed low-luminosity, ⁵⁶Ni-poor type II plateau event so far and one of the best core-collapse supernovae ever. The optical and near-infrared spectra show narrow P-Cygni lines characteristic of this SN family, which are indicative of a very low expansion velocity (about  1000 km s⁻¹  ) of the ejected material. The optical light curves cover both the plateau phase and the late-time radioactive tail, until about 380 d after core-collapse. Numerous unfiltered observations obtained by amateur astronomers give us the rare opportunity to monitor the fast rise to maximum light, lasting about 2 d. In addition to optical observations, we also present near-infrared light curves that (together with already published ultraviolet observations) allow us to construct for the first time a reliable bolometric light curve for an object of this class. Finally, comparing the observed data with those derived from a semi-analytic model, we infer for SN 2005cs a ⁵⁶Ni mass of about  3 × 10⁻³ M_⊙  , a total ejected mass of  8–13 M_⊙  and an explosion energy of about  3 × 10⁵⁰ erg  .
