Ítem A HUBBLE DIAGRAM FROM TYPE II SUPERNOVAE BASED SOLELY ON PHOTOMETRY: THE PHOTOMETRIC COLOR METHOD(IOP PUBLISHING, 2015-12) T. de Jaeger, S.; González-Gaitán, J. P.; Anderson, L.; Galbany, M.; Hamuy, M. M.; Phillips, M. D.; Stritzinger, C. P.; Gutiérrez, L.; Bolt, C. R.; Burns, A.; Campillay, S.; Castellón, C.; Contreras, G.; Folatelli, W. L.; Freedman, E. Y.; Hsiao, K.; Krisciunas, W.; Krzeminski, H.; Kuncarayakti, N.; Morrell, F.; Olivares E., F.; Persson, S. E.; Suntzeff, N.We present a Hubble diagram of SNe II using corrected magnitudes derived only from photometry, with no input of spectral information. We use a data set from the Carnegie Supernovae Project I for which optical and near-infrared light. curves were obtained. The apparent magnitude is corrected by two observables, one corresponding to the slope of the plateau in the V band and the second a color term. We obtain a dispersion of 0.44 mag using a combination of the (V - i) color and the r band and we are able to reduce the dispersion to 0.39 mag using our golden sample. A comparison of our photometric color method (PCM) with the standardized candle method (SCM) is also performed. The dispersion obtained for the SCM (which uses both photometric and spectroscopic information) is 0.29 mag, which compares with 0.43 mag from the PCM. for the same SN sample. The construction of a photometric Hubble diagram is of high importance in the coming era of large photometric wide-field surveys, which will increase the detection rate of supernovae by orders of magnitude. Such numbers will prohibit spectroscopic follow. up in the vast majority of cases, and hence methods must be deployed which can proceed using solely photometric data.Ítem Afterglow rebrightenings as a signature of a long-lasting central engine activity?: The emblematic case of GRB 100814A(2014-02) Nardini, M.; Elliott, J.; Filgas, R.; Schady, P.; Greiner, J.; Krühler, T.; Klose, S.; Afonso, P.; Kann, D.A.; Nicuesa Guelbenzu, A.; Olivares E., F.; Rau, A.; Rossi, A.; Sudilovsky, V.; Schmidl, S.Context. In the past few years the number of well-sampled optical to near-infrared (NIR) light curves of long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) has greatly increased, particularly due to simultaneous multi-band imagers such as GROND. Combining these densely sam pled ground-based data sets with the Swift UVOT and XRT space observations unveils a much more complex afterglow evolution than what was predicted by the most commonly invoked theoretical models. GRB 100814A represents a remarkable example of these interesting well-sampled events, showing a prominent late-time rebrightening in the optical to NIR bands and a complex spectral evolution. This represents a unique laboratory to test the different afterglow emission models. Aims. Here we study the nature of the complex afterglow emission of GRB 100814A in the framework of different theoretical models. Moreover, we compare the late-time chromatic rebrightening with those observed in other well-sampled long GRBs. Methods. We analysed the optical and NIR observations obtained with the seven-channel Gamma-Ray burst Optical and Near-infrared Detector (GROND) at the 2.2 m MPG/ESO telescope together with the X-ray and UV data detected by the instruments onboard the Swift observatory. The broad-band afterglow evolution, achieved by constructing multi-instrument light curves and spectral energy distributions, is discussed in the framework of different theoretical models. Results. We find that the standard models that describe the broad-band afterglow emission within the external shock scenario fail to describe the complex evolution of GRB 100814A, and therefore more complex scenarios must be invoked. The analysis of the very well sampled broad-band light curve of GRB 100814A allowed us to deduce that models invoking late-time activity of the central engine in the observed afterglow emission are the preferred ones for all the different observed features. This late-time activity most likely has the form of a delayed reactivation of the ejecta emission process. However, a more detailed modelling of the radiative mechanisms associated with these scenarios is necessary to arrive at a firm conclusion on the nature of the optical rebrightenings that so often are detected in long GRBs.Ítem Highly luminous supernovae associated with gamma-ray bursts: I. GRB 111209A/SN 2011kl in the context of stripped-envelope and superluminous supernovae(Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2019-04-01) Kann, D. A.; Schady, P.; Olivares E., F.; Klose, S.; Rossi, A.; Perley, D. A.; Krühler, T.; Greiner, J.; Nicuesa Guelbenzu, A.; Elliott, J.; Knust, F.; Filgas, R.; Pian, E.; Mazzali, P.; Fynbo, J. P. U.; Leloudas, G.; Afonso, P. M. J.; Delvaux, C.; Graham, J. F.; Rau, A.; Schmidl, S.; Schulze, S.; Tanga, M.; Updike, A. C.; Varela, K.Context. GRB 111209A, one of the longest gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) ever observed, is linked to SN 2011kl, which is the most luminous GRB supernova (SN) detected so far. Several lines of evidence indicate that this GRB-SN is powered by a magnetar central engine. Aims. We place SN 2011kl into the context of large samples of SNe, addressing in more detail the question of whether this GRB-SN could be radioactively powered, and whether it represents an extreme version of a GRB-SN or an underluminous superluminous SN (SLSN). Methods. We modelled SN 2011kl using SN 1998bw as a template and derived a bolometric light curve including near-infrared data. We compared the properties of SN 2011kl to literature results on stripped-envelope and SLSNe. Results. A comparison in the k,- s context, i.e. comparing SN 2011kl to SN 1998bw templates in terms of luminosity and light-curve stretch, clearly shows SN 2011kl is the most luminous GRB-SN to date and is spectrally very dissimilar to other events because it is significantly bluer/hotter. Although SN 2011kl does not reach the classical luminosity threshold of SLSNe and evolves faster than any of these objects, it resembles SLSNe more than the classical GRB-associated broad-lined Type Ic SNe in several aspects. Conclusions. GRB 111209A was a very energetic event, both at early (prompt emission) and at very late (SN) times. We show in a companion publication that with the exception of the extreme duration, the GRB and afterglow parameters are in agreement with the known distributions for these parameters. SN 2011kl, on the other hand, is exceptional both in luminosity and spectral characteristics, indicating that GRB 111209A was likely not powered by a standard-model collapsar central engine, further supporting our earlier conclusions. Instead, it reveals the possibility of a direct link between GRBs and SLSNe.Ítem Investigating the properties of stripped-envelope supernovae; what are the implications for their progenitors?(Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019-02-15) Prentice, S. J.; Ashall, C.; James, P. A.; Short, L.; Mazzali, P. A.; Bersier, D.; Crowther, P. A.; Barbarino, C.; Chen, T.-W.; Copperwheat, C. M.; Darnley, M. J.; Denneau, L.; Elias-Rosa, N.; Fraser, M.; Galbany, L.; Gal-Yam, A.; Harmanen, J.; Howell, D. A.; Hosseinzadeh, G.; Inserra, C.; Kankare, E.; Karamehmetoglu, E.; Lamb, G. P.; Limongi, M.; Maguire, K.; McCully, C.; Olivares E., F.; Piascik, A. S.; Pignata, G.; Reichart, D. E.; Rest, A.; Reynolds, T.; Rodríguez, O.; Saario, J. L. O.; Schulze, S.; Smartt, S. J.; Smith, K. W.; Sollerman, J.; Stalder, B.; Sullivan, M.; Taddia, F.; Valenti, S.; Vergani, S. D.; Williams, S. C.; Young, D. R.We present observations and analysis of 18 stripped-envelope supernovae observed during 2013–2018. This sample consists of five H/He-rich SNe, six H-poor/He-rich SNe, three narrow lined SNe Ic, and four broad lined SNe Ic. The peak luminosity and characteristic time-scales of the bolometric light curves are calculated, and the light curves modelled to derive 56Ni and ejecta masses (MNi and Mej). Additionally, the temperature evolution and spectral line velocity curves of each SN are examined. Analysis of the [O I] line in the nebular phase of eight SNe suggests their progenitors had initial masses <20 M . The bolometric light curve properties are examined in combination with those of other SE events from the literature. The resulting data set gives the Mej distribution for 80 SE–SNe, the largest such sample in the literature to date, and shows that SNe Ib have the lowest median Mej, followed by narrow-lined SNe Ic, H/He-rich SNe, broad-lined SNe Ic, and finally gamma-ray burst SNe. SNe Ic-6/7 show the largest spread of Mej ranging from ∼1.2–11 M , considerably greater than any other subtype. For all SE–SNe = 2.8 ± 1.5 M which further strengthens the evidence that SE–SNe arise from low-mass progenitors which are typically <5 M at the time of explosion, again suggesting MZAMS <25 M . The low and lack of clear bimodality in the distribution implies <30 M progenitors and that envelope stripping via binary interaction is the dominant evolutionary pathway of these SNe.Ítem Signatures of an eruptive phase before the explosion of the peculiar core-collapse SN 2013gc(Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019-01) Reguitti, Andrea; Pastorello, A.; Pignata, G.; Benetti, S.; Cappellaro, E.; Turatto, M.; Agliozzo, C.; Bufano, F.; Morrell, N. I.; Olivares E., F.; Reichart, D. E.; Haislip, J. B.; Kouprianov, V.; Smartt, S. J.; Ciroi, S.We present photometric and spectroscopic analysis of the peculiar core-collapse supernova (SN) 2013gc, spanning 7 yr of observations. The light curve shows an early maximum followed by a fast decline and a phase of almost constant luminosity. At +200 d from maximum, a brightening of 1 mag is observed in all bands, followed by a steep linear luminosity decline after +300 d. In archival images taken between 1.5 and 2.5 yr before the explosion, a weak source is visible at the supernova location, with mag ≈20. The early supernova spectra show Balmer lines, with a narrow (∼560 km s-1) P-Cygni absorption superimposed on a broad (∼3400 km s-1) component, typical of Type IIn events. Through a comparison of colour curves, absolute light curves, and spectra of SN 2013gc with a sample of supernovae IIn, we conclude that SN 2013gc is a member of the so-called Type IId subgroup. The complex profile of the Hα line suggests a composite circumstellar medium geometry, with a combination of lower velocity, spherically symmetric gas, and a more rapidly expanding bilobed feature. This circumstellar medium distribution has been likely formed through major mass-loss events that we directly observed from 3 yr before the explosion. The modest luminosity (MI ∼-16.5 near maximum) of SN 2013gc at all phases, the very small amount of ejected 56Ni (of the order of 10-3 M⊙), the major pre-supernova stellar activity, and the lack of prominent [O I] lines in the late-time spectra support a fall-back core-collapse scenario for the massive progenitor of SN 2013gc.
