    Early-time radiative signals from Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) can provide important constraints on the explosion mechanism and the progenitor system. We present observations and analysis of SN 2019np, a nearby SN Ia discovered within 1-2 days after the explosion. Follow-up observations were conducted in optical, ultraviolet, and near-infrared bands, covering the phases from ∼-16.7 d to ∼+ 367.8 d relative to its B-band peak luminosity. The photometric and spectral evolutions of SN 2019np resemble the average behaviour of normal SNe Ia. The absolute B-band peak magnitude and the post-peak decline rate are Mmax(B) =-19.52 ± 0.47 mag and Δm15(B) = 1.04 ± 0.04 mag, respectively. No Hydrogen line has been detected in the nebular-phase spectra of SN 2019np. Assuming that the 56Ni powering the light curve is centrally located, we find that the bolometric light curve of SN 2019np shows a flux excess up to 5.0 per cent in the early phase compared to the radiative diffusion model. Such an extra radiation perhaps suggests the presence of an additional energy source beyond the radioactive decay of central nickel. Comparing the observed colour evolution with that predicted by different models, such as interactions of SN ejecta with circumstellar matter (CSM)/companion star, a double-detonation explosion from a sub-Chandrasekhar mass white dwarf (WD) and surface 56Ni mixing, we propose that the nickel mixing is more favoured for SN 2019np. © 2022 The Author(s) Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of Royal Astronomical Society.

    SN 2017gmr: An Energetic Type II-P Supernova with Asymmetries
    (Institute of Physics Publishing, 2019-11-01) Andrews, Jennifer E.; Sand D.J.; Valenti S.; Smith, Nathan; Dastidar, Raya; Sahu D.K.; Misra, Kuntal; Singh, Avinash; Hiramatsu D.; Brown P.J.; Hosseinzadeh G.; Wyatt S.; Vinko J.; Anupama G.C.; Arcavi I.; Ashall, Chris; Benetti S.; Berton, Marco; Bostroem K.A.; Bulla M.; Burke J.; Chen S.; Chomiuk L.; Cikota A.; Congiu E.; Cseh B.; Davis, Scott; Elias-Rosa N.; Faran T.; Fraser, Morgan; Galbany L.; Gall C.; Gal-Yam A.; Gangopadhyay, Anjasha; Gromadzki M.; Haislip J.; Howell D.A.; Hsiao E.Y.; Inserra C.; Kankare E.; Kuncarayakti H.; Kouprianov V.; Kumar, Brajesh; Li, Xue; Lin, Han; Maguire K.; Mazzali P.; McCully C.; Milne P.; Mo, Jun; Morrell N.; Nicholl M.; Ochner P.; Olivares F.; Pastorello A.; Patat F.; Phillips M.; Pignata G.; Prentice S.; Reguitti A.; Reichart D.E.; Rodríguez Ó.; Rui, Liming; Sanwal, Pankaj; Sárneczky K.; Shahbandeh M.; Singh, Mridweeka; Smartt S.; Strader J.; Stritzinger M.D.; Szakáts R.; Tartaglia L.; Wang, Huijuan; Wang, Lingzhi; Wang, Xiaofeng; Wheeler J.C.; Xiang, Danfeng; Yaron O.; Young D.R.; Zhang, Junbo
    We present high-cadence UV, optical, and near-infrared data on the luminous Type II-P supernova SN 2017gmr from hours after discovery through the first 180 days. SN 2017gmr does not show signs of narrow, high-ionization emission lines in the early optical spectra, yet the optical light-curve evolution suggests that an extra energy source from circumstellar medium (CSM) interaction must be present for at least 2 days after explosion. Modeling of the early light curve indicates a ∼500 R o progenitor radius, consistent with a rather compact red supergiant, and late-time luminosities indicate that up to 0.130 ± 0.026 M o of 56Ni are present, if the light curve is solely powered by radioactive decay, although the 56Ni mass may be lower if CSM interaction contributes to the post-plateau luminosity. Prominent multipeaked emission lines of Hα and [O i] emerge after day 154, as a result of either an asymmetric explosion or asymmetries in the CSM. The lack of narrow lines within the first 2 days of explosion in the likely presence of CSM interaction may be an example of close, dense, asymmetric CSM that is quickly enveloped by the spherical supernova ejecta.

    SN 2020udy: A New Piece of the Homogeneous Bright Group in the Diverse Iax Subclass

    We present optical observations and analysis of the bright type Iax supernova SN 2020udy hosted by NGC 0812. The evolution of the light curve of SN 2020udy is similar to that of other bright type Iax SNe. Analytical modeling of the quasi-bolometric light curves of SN 2020udy suggests that 0.08 ± 0.01 M ⊙ of 56Ni would have been synthesized during the explosion. The spectral features of SN 2020udy are similar to those of the bright members of type Iax class, showing a weak Si ii line. The late-time spectral sequence is mostly dominated by iron group elements with broad emission lines. Abundance tomography modeling of the spectral time series of SN 2020udy using TARDIS indicates stratification in the outer ejecta; however, to confirm this, spectral modeling at a very early phase is required. After maximum light, uniform mixing of chemical elements is sufficient to explain the spectral evolution. Unlike in the case of normal type Ia SNe, the photospheric approximation remains robust until +100 days, requiring an additional continuum source. Overall, the observational features of SN 2020udy are consistent with the deflagration of a carbon-oxygen white dwarf.
