一句话总结

该论文分析了七个在WFST检测到并具有早期冲击-冷却发射的超新星,拟合结合冲击-冷却与56Ni供能的模型以推导外壳和前体星属性,提出一个由二元形成的、黄/蓝色超巨星前体的通道。

ABSTRACT

We investigate the multiband photometric properties of seven supernovae (SNe) showing double-peaked light-curve evolution and prominent shock-cooling emission, observed by the Wide Field Survey Telescope (WFST) during its first year of operation. By jointly employing an analytic early shock-cooling model and the Arnett radioactive-diffusion model, we fit the bolometric light curves and infer ejecta masses in the range $1.1$-$2.6 M_\odot$, consistent with a transitional population between ultra-stripped supernovae (USSNe) and normal stripped-envelope supernovae (SESNe). The envelope masses are estimated to be $M_{ m env}=0.1$-$0.4 M_\odot$, while the progenitors are constrained to be yellow or blue supergiants (YSGs/BSGs) with radii of $R=120$-$300 R_\odot$. Using empirical relations, we estimate progenitor luminosities of $L=10^{4.6}$-$10^{4.9} L_\odot$, corresponding to zero-age main-sequence (ZAMS) masses of $8$-$20 M_\odot$. Theoretical models suggest that such progenitors are more naturally produced through binary evolution channels, as single-star evolutionary pathways are unable to yield ejecta masses this low.

研究动机与目标

  • 在WFST在其第一年检测到的七个具备早期冲击-冷却发射的超新星的多波段光度特性方面进行调查。
  • 通过用结合冲击-冷却与56Ni供能框架来拟合双峰光曲线,约束爆发与前体星属性。
  • 从解析光曲线拟合中推导出前体半径、包层质量、外壳质量、Ni质量与动能。
  • 评估导致观测到的外壳与外层属性的前体星演化通道(二元 vs 单星)。
  • 将结果置于剥离包层超新星(SESNe)与超极剥离超新星(USSNe)的背景中加以语境化。

提出的方法

  • 用两分量模型拟合总bolometric光曲线:早期冲击-冷却(Piro et al. 2021)加上后期56Ni供能扩散(Arnett 1982)。
  • 采用一个共同的光学不透明度和一个居中集中的56Ni分布用于Arnett分量。
  • 使用SuperBol在纠正消光的光度测量基础上,利用黑体SED构建伪bolometric光曲线。
  • 通过DESI-DR1/SDSS-DR16光谱的BAGPIPES SED拟合来推导宿主星属性,并通过氦核质量–光度关系估算前体星光度。
  • 对冲击-冷却建模在8120 K(0.7 eV)处应用基于温度的有效性截断,遵循Sapir & Waxman (2017)。
  • 将推断参数与SESNe样本和超极剥离超新星进行比较,并讨论对二元进化通道的含义。

实验结果

研究问题

  • RQ1七个WFST检测到的、具有早期冲击-冷却发射的超新星的物理参数(外壳质量、包层质量、Ni质量、动能)为何?
  • RQ2双峰光曲线所隐含的前体属性(半径、光度、ZAMS质量)为何?
  • RQ3所推断的前体更倾向于二元进化通道而非单星路径吗?
  • RQ4在外壳质量与外层结构方面,这些超新星在SESNe与USSNe参数空间中如何定位?
  • RQ5结合冲击-冷却与Ni衰变建模是否可在自洽不透明度假设下稳健地再现观测到的光曲线?

主要发现

  • 大多数事件的外壳质量在0.4–2 M_sun范围,WFST-PS240503d约为0.或2.6 M_sun(请注意原文为 ~2.6 M_sun)。
  • 包层质量估计为0.07–0.5 M_sun,前体星半径为60–300 R_sun,指示为YSG/BSG前体。
  • 前体星光度推断为10^4.6–10^4.9 L_sun,对应ZAMS质量约8–20 M_sun。
  • 结果暗示二元演化通道比单星路径更 natural 地产生如此低的外壳质量。
  • 该样本在参数空间上大致与SESNe类似,在USSNe与SESNe之间在外壳质量与外层配置上呈现过渡性重叠。
  • 某些事件(如WFST-PS240503d)显示较高的外壳质量,而其他事件则呈现非常紧凑的包层,凸显该子集的多样性。
