    We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of the Type Icn supernova (SN) 2021ckj. This rare type of SNe is characterized by a rapid evolution and high peak luminosity as well as narrow lines of highly ionized carbon at early phases, implying an interaction with hydrogen- and helium-poor circumstellar matter (CSM). SN 2021ckj reached a peak brightness of ~-20 mag in the optical bands, with a rise time and a time above half maximum of ~4 and ~10 days, respectively, in the g and cyan bands. These features are reminiscent of those of other Type Icn SNe (SNe 2019hgp, 2021csp, and 2019jc), with the photometric properties of SN 2021ckj being almost identical to those of SN 2021csp. Spectral modeling of SN 2021ckj reveals that its composition is dominated by oxygen, carbon, and iron group elements, and the photospheric velocity at peak is ~10000 km s-1. Modeling the spectral time series of SN 2021ckj suggests aspherical SN ejecta. From the light curve (LC) modeling applied to SNe 2021ckj, 2019hgp, and 2021csp, we find that the ejecta and CSM properties of Type Icn SNe are diverse. SNe 2021ckj and 2021csp likely have two ejecta components (an aspherical high-energy component and a spherical standard-energy component) with a roughly spherical CSM, while SN 2019hgp can be explained by a spherical ejecta-CSM interaction alone. The ejecta of SNe 2021ckj and 2021csp have larger energy per ejecta mass than the ejecta of SN 2019hgp. The density distribution of the CSM is similar in these three SNe, and is comparable to those of Type Ibn SNe. This may imply that the mass-loss mechanism is common between Type Icn (and also Type Ibn) SNe. The CSM masses of SN 2021ckj and SN 2021csp are higher than that of SN 2019hgp, although all these values are within those seen in Type Ibn SNe. The early spectrum of SN 2021ckj shows narrow emission lines from C II and C III, without a clear absorption component, in contrast with that observed in SN 2021csp. The similarity of the emission components of these lines implies that the emitting regions of SNe 2021ckj and 2021csp have similar ionization states, and thus suggests that they have similar properties as the ejecta and CSM, which is also inferred from the LC modeling. Taking the difference in the strength of the absorption features into account, this heterogeneity may be attributed to viewing angle effects in otherwise common aspherical ejecta. In particular, in this scenario SN 2021ckj is observed from the polar direction, while SN 2021csp is seen from an off-axis direction. This is also supported by the fact that the late-time spectra of SNe 2021ckj and 2021csp show similar features but with different line velocities. © 2023 EDP Sciences. All rights reserved.

    The fast rise of the unusual type IIL/IIb SN 2018ivc
    (EDP Sciences, 0024-12) Reguitti A; Dastidar R.; Pignata G; Maeda K.; Moriya T.J.; Kuncarayakti H.; Rodríguez Ó; Bersten M.; Anderson J.P.; Charalampopoulos P.; Fraser M; Gromadzki M.
    We present an analysis of the photometric and spectroscopic dataset of the type II supernova (SN) 2018ivc in the nearby (10 Mpc) galaxy Messier 77. Thanks to our high-cadence data, we observed the SN rising very rapidly by nearly three magnitudes in five hours (or 18 mag d- 1). The r-band light curve presents four distinct phases: the maximum light, which was reached in just one day, followed by a first, rapid linear decline and a short-duration plateau. Finally, the long, slower linear decline lasted for one year. Thanks to the ensuing radio re-brightening, we were able to detect SN 2018ivc four years after the explosion. The early spectra show a blue, nearly featureless continuum, but the spectra go on to evolve rapidly; after about ten days, a prominent Hα line starts to emerge, characterised by a peculiar profile. However, the spectra are heavily contaminated by emission lines from the host galaxy. The He I lines, namely λλ5876,7065, are also strong. In addition, strong absorption from the Na I doublet is evident and indicative of a non-negligible internal reddening. From its equivalent width, we derived a lower limit on the host reddening of AV ≲ 1.5 mag. From the Balmer decrement and a match of the B- V colour curve of SN 2018ivc to that of the comparison objects, we obtained a host reddening of AV ≲ 3.0 mag. The spectra are similar to those of SNe II, but with strong He lines. Given the peculiar light curve and spectral features, we suggest SN 2018ivc could be a transitional object between the type IIL and type IIb SNe classes. In addition, we found signs of an interaction with the circum-stellar medium (CSM) in the light curve, also making SN 2018ivc an interacting event. Finally, we modelled the early multi-band light curves and photospheric velocity of SN 2018ivc to estimate the physical parameters of the explosion and CSM. © The Authors 2024.
