Observations and spectral modelling of the narrow-lined Type Ic SN 2017ein
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society(2021)
摘要
SN 2017ein is a narrow-lined Type Ic SN that was found to share a location with a point-like source in the face on spiral galaxy NGC 3938 in pre-supernova images, making SN 2017ein the first credible detection of a Type Ic progenitor. Results in the literature suggest that this point-like source is likely a massive progenitor of 60–80 M

, depending on if the source is a binary, a single star, or a compact cluster. Using new photometric and spectral data collected for 200 d, including several nebular spectra, we generate a consistent model covering the photospheric and nebular phase using a Monte Carlo radiation transport code. Photospheric phase modelling finds an ejected mass 1.2–2.0 M
