  1. Roy et al. 2011, MNRAS accepted Study of the type IIP supernova 2008gz

  2. Supernovae: Catastrophic cosmic explosions Energy released ~10^46 J Responsible for chemical enrichment of galaxies Trigger new star formation SNe link to neutron stars, black holes, GRBs, …..

  3. Progenitors & Process 1. White dwarf binary: thermonuclear Accretion Chandrasekhar limit Explosion Image: scienceblogs.com

  4. Progenitors & Process 2. Massive stars: Core collapse Star >10M_sun Iron core - Chandrasekhar limit Radiation pressure reduces Gravitational core collapse Remnant: neutron star, black hole Image: smithsonianscience.com

  5. Supernova family (spectra and light curve)Type IType II Ia Silicon lines no Hydrogen Ib no Si but rich He Ic no Si, poor/or no He Ibc_pec (no H but unusual LC and spectra) IIP, show plateau in the light curve with Hydrogen IIL, linear decay of light curve IIn, narrow emission lines IIb, early time dominant H (like II) But later similar to Ib SNe light curves Image: astro.rug.nl

  6. Supernovae family: (early spectra and light curve) SN type I > 55% SN type II ~ 41% Core collapse SNe Ib, Ic, Ibc_pec, IIL, IIP, IIb, IIn Type IIP SNe show variation in their luminosity, velocity and Ni production. Smith, N. et al. 2010

  7. Supernova 2008gz Host: Spiral galaxy NGC 3672 Explosion date (UT): 5.83 Nov 2008 RΑ (J2000): 11h 25m 3s DEC (J2000): -09º 47' 51''

  8. Observations: BVRI data 1m, ST ARIES, India 2m, IGO IUCAA, India 3.6m, NTT ESO, Chile Spectra 2m, IUCAA 3.5m, TNG 3.6m, NTT 6m, SAO Russia

  9. Light curve in BVRI magnitudes • +87d to +275d since explosion • SN detected very close to end of plateau phase • Time of inflection 115± 5 days

  10. Bolometric light curve Nebular phase governed by radioactive decay of Ni to Co to Fe => tail luminosity is proportional to Ni synthesized. (Arnett 1980, 1996) Derived tail luminosity = 1.51± 0.29 * 10^41 erg/s

  11. Comparison of absolute V mag to other IIP SNe Unusual V dropping ~1.5mag during plateau to nebular phase

  12. SN 2008gz spectra (late plateau to deep nebular ) Late plateau Nebular Late nebular

  13. Velocity profile of different elements Photospheric velocity is a good indicator of explosion energy (Dessart et al. 2010) =>SN 2008gz has explosion energy 2.3*10^51erg similar to SN2004et

  14. Summary • Photometric and spectral nature of this event is similar to normal type IIP SNe 2004et and 1999em. The plateau phase lasted about 115±5 days. • Photospheric velocity ~ 4000 km/s at similar epoch comparable to SN 2004et. • Explosion energy 2-3 * 10^51 erg/s. • SN 2008gz exhibits rarely observed drop of 1.5 mag in V, within 30 days from plateau to nebular phase. • Synthesized Ni during the explosion 0.05± 0.01 M_sun.
