SN 2023zaw: an ultra-stripped, nickel-poor supernova from a low-mass progenitor
arxiv(2024)
摘要
We present SN 2023zaw - a sub-luminous (M_r = -16.7 mag) and
rapidly-evolving supernova (t_1/2,r = 4.9 days), with the lowest
nickel mass (≈0.002 M_⊙) measured among all
stripped-envelope supernovae discovered to date. The photospheric spectra are
dominated by broad He I and Ca NIR emission lines with velocities of ∼10000 - 12 000 km s^-1. The late-time spectra show prominent
narrow He I emission lines at ∼1000km s^-1, indicative of
interaction with He-rich circumstellar material. SN 2023zaw is located in the
spiral arm of a star-forming galaxy. We perform radiation-hydrodynamical and
analytical modeling of the lightcurve by fitting with a combination of
shock-cooling emission and nickel decay. The progenitor has a best-fit envelope
mass of ≈0.2 M_⊙ and an envelope radius of ≈50
R_⊙. The extremely low nickel mass and low ejecta mass
(≈0.5 M_⊙) suggest an ultra-stripped SN, which
originates from a mass-losing low mass He-star (ZAMS mass < 10
M_⊙) in a close binary system. This is a channel to form double
neutron star systems, whose merger is detectable with LIGO. SN 2023zaw
underscores the existence of a previously undiscovered population of extremely
low nickel mass (< 0.005 M_⊙) stripped-envelope supernovae,
which can be explored with deep and high-cadence transient surveys.
