Supernova models with slow energy pumping and galactic supernova remnants

The study of supernova (SN) models with slow energy pumping is continued. At maximum luminosity the main characteristics of a SN are shown to be independent of the initial structure of the model (Table I, Figure 1). However, they depend on the massM_e of the envelope, and on the intensity of energy pumpingL, with an increase ofM_e leading qualitatively to the same changes in the SN parameters as a decrease inL (Table I, Figures 2 and 3). A simple relationship connecting the important SN parameters is obtained (Equation (6)). From the inflection of the color indexB-V curve, the possibility of deriving the characteristic time of energy pumping with intensityL 10⁴⁴ erg s^–1 is pointed out. The comparison of the extragalactic type I SN observations with the results of calculations leads to the estimate ofM_e 0.3–0.7M.An investigation of the galactic type I SN remnants is carried out (Table III). The estimate ofM_e 0.2–0.3M is obtained for the remnants of supernovae SN 1006, SN 1572, and SN 1604. It completely fits the results for the extragalactic type I SNs. The total initial mass of SN 1604 presupernova was shown to be at least about 7M.It was established that the Crab nebula resulted from the outburst of a peculiar SN. The unique properties of such SNs, including SN 1054, are due to the low intensity of energy pumping (L 10⁴² erg s^–1). The mass of the envelope of the Crab nebula is evaluated to beM_e 0.7M. SN 1054 was shown to have m_max^v=–4_m^.0 at maximum luminosity.
