  3. Radio Supernovae • Largely based on work done (over MANY years) in collaboration with: • Kurt W. Weiler (NRL) • Dick A. Sramek (NRAO) • Schuyler D. van Dyk (IPAC) • Marcos J. Montes (NRL) • Chris Stockdale (Marquette U) • Stuart Ryder (AAO) • Stefan Immler (GSFC) • et al… Nino Panagia Radio Supernovae

  4. SN classification Ia: termonuclear explosion of a WD II-Ib/c: gravitational collapse of a massive star Nino Panagia Radio Supernovae

  5. Radio Supernovae (RSNe) ~70 RSNe detected in the radio ~30 with light curves ~20 with extensive light curves Many upper limits (~300 ) Nino Panagia Radio Supernovae 6

  6. Our most recent review on RSNe ARAA 40, 387, 2002 Nino Panagia Radio Supernovae

  7. Why RSNe? The study of radio emission provides valuable insight into SN shock/CSM interaction • History of pre-SN evolution • Mass-loss rate and changes therein • Nature of the progenitor Nino Panagia Radio Supernovae

  8. What RSNe? • All RSNe have in common: • Nonthermal synchrotron with high TB • Decrease in (l - dependent) absorption with time • Power­law flux density decline after max • Final approach to optically, thin constant a • Interesting variations: • Clumps or filaments in CSM • Possible binary companions Nino Panagia Radio Supernovae

  9. Radio Supernovae • “Turn on”, first at high , progressing to lower  • Power-law decline after maximum at each  • Transition from “optically thick” spectral index  (where S ~ + ) to an “optically thin” asymptotic value • Nonthermal emission with very high TB SN Ib SN II-L SN IIn Nino Panagia Radio Supernovae

  10. Standard Model Physical Parameters(Chevalier 1984) } SNII • Red Supergiant (RSG) progenitor • Slow (10 km s-1), dense (10-6-10-4 Myr-1) wind •   r-2 [  Mdot/(wwind r2)] density profile • CircumStellar Medium (CSM) ionized by SN UV/X-ray flash • Relativistic electrons & enhanced magnetic field arise from shock/CSM interaction • Ionized CSM provides initial absorption (f-f) • Synchrotron Self-Absorption (SSA) may play a role at very early times Nino Panagia Radio Supernovae

  11. Circumstellar Interaction parameterized radio light curves [Weiler et al. 2002] K5, K6 = internal SSA and f-f optical depth on day 1 ( >105 K Nino Panagia Radio Supernovae

  12. Circumstellar Interaction: Estimation of progenitor’s Mass-loss Rate (from f-f absorption) (Weiler et al. 1986, 1990, 2002, 2007)  Nino Panagia Radio Supernovae

  14. VLA Observations of SNIa Panagia et al 2006 • Observed 27 SNIa over 24 years of monitoring NO detection Nino Panagia Radio Supernovae

  15. All SNIaat once The lowest 2 upper limit is about 3  10-8 M yr-1 Nino Panagia Radio Supernovae

  16. The most StringentUpperLimits M < 310-8 M yr-1 Nino Panagia Radio Supernovae

  17. Radio Constraints on SNIa Progenitors The theoretical requirement that accretion rates higher than 10-7 M yr-1are needed to make a WD mass exceed the Chandrasehkar mass combined with the radio upper limit to the mass loss rates < 310-8 M yr-1 : • Rules out accretion via stellar wind from a companion (accretion efficiency <30%) • Allows accretion via Roche lobe overflow if the mass transfer efficiency is higher than 60% • Allows the “double degenerate merger” Nino Panagia Radio Supernovae
