Ítem A long life of excess: The interacting transient SN 2017hcc(EDP Sciences, 2023-01) Moran S.; Fraser M.; Kotak R.; Pastorello A.; Benetti S.; Brennan S.J.; Gutiérrez C.P.; Kankare E.; Kuncarayakti H.; Mattila S.; Reynolds T.M.; Anderson J.P.; Brown P.J.; Campana S.; Chambers K.C.; Chen T.-W.; Della Valle M.; Dennefeld M.; Elias-Rosa N.; Galbany L.; Galindo-Guil F.J.; Gromadzki M.; Hiramatsu D.; Inserra C.; Leloudas G.; Müller-Bravo T.E.; Nicholl M.; Reguitti A.; Shahbandeh M.; Smartt S.J.; Tartaglia L.; Young D.R.In this study we present the results of a five-year follow-up campaign of the long-lived type IIn supernova SN 2017hcc, found in a spiral dwarf host of near-solar metallicity. The long rise time (57 ± 2 days, ATLAS o band) and high luminosity (peaking at -20.78 ± 0.01 mag in the ATLAS o band) point towards an interaction of massive ejecta with massive and dense circumstellar material (CSM). The evolution of SN 2017hcc is slow, both spectroscopically and photometrically, reminiscent of the long-lived type IIn, SN 2010jl. An infrared (IR) excess was apparent soon after the peak, and blueshifts were noticeable in the Balmer lines starting from a few hundred days, but appeared to be fading by around +1200 d. We posit that an IR light echo from pre-existing dust dominates at early times, with some possible condensation of new dust grains occurring at epochs ≳;+800 d. © The Authors 2023.Ítem Forbidden hugs in pandemic times: IV. Panchromatic evolution of three luminous red novae(EDP Sciences, 2023-03) Pastorello A.; Valerin G.; Fraser M.; Reguitti A.; Elias-Rosa N.; Filippenko A.V.; Rojas-Bravo C.; Tartaglia L.; Reynolds T.M.; Valenti S.; Andrews J.E.; Ashall C.; Bostroem K.A.; Brink T.G.; Burke J.; Cai Y.-Z.; Cappellaro E.; Coulter D.A.; Dastidar R.; Davis K.W.; Dimitriadis G.; Fiore A.; Foley R.J.; Fugazza D.; Galbany L.; Gangopadhyay A.; Geier S.; Gutiérrez C.P.; Haislip J.; Hiramatsu D.; Holmbo S.; Howell D.A.; Hsiao E.Y.; Hung T.; Jha S.W.; Kankare E.; Karamehmetoglu E.; Kilpatrick C.D.; Kotak R.; Kouprianov V.; Kravtsov T.; Kumar S.; Li Z.-T.; Lundquist M.J.; Lundqvist P.; Matilainen K.; Mazzali P.A.; McCully C.; Misra K.; Morales-Garoffolo A.; Moran S.; Morrell N.; Newsome M.; Padilla Gonzalez E.; Pan Y.-C.; Pellegrino C.; Phillips M.M.; Pignata G.; Piro A.L.; Reichart D.E.; Rest A.; Salmaso I.; Sand D.J.; Siebert M.R.; Smartt S.J.; Smith K.W.; Srivastav S.; Stritzinger M.D.; Taggart K.; Tinyanont S.; Yan S.-Y.; Wang L.; Wang X.-F.; Williams S.C.; Wyatt S.; Zhang T.-M.; De Boer T.; Chambers K.; Gao H.; Magnier E.We present photometric and spectroscopic data on three extragalactic luminous red novae (LRNe): AT 2018bwo, AT 2021afy, and AT 2021blu. AT 2018bwo was discovered in NGC 45 (at about 6.8 Mpc) a few weeks after the outburst onset. During the monitoring period, the transient reached a peak luminosity of 1040 erg s1. AT 2021afy, hosted by UGC 10043 (49.2 Mpc), showed a double-peaked light curve, with the two peaks reaching a similar luminosity of 2.1(±0.6) - 1041 erg s1. Finally, for AT 2021blu in UGC 5829 (∼8.6 Mpc), the pre-outburst phase was well-monitored by several photometric surveys, and the object showed a slow luminosity rise before the outburst. The light curve of AT 2021blu was sampled with an unprecedented cadence until the object disappeared behind the Sun, and it was then recovered at late phases. The light curve of LRN AT 2021blu shows a double peak, with a prominent early maximum reaching a luminosity of 6.5 - 1040 erg s1, which is half of that of AT 2021afy. The spectra of AT 2021afy and AT 2021blu display the expected evolution for LRNe: a blue continuum dominated by prominent Balmer lines in emission during the first peak, and a redder continuum consistent with that of a K-type star with narrow absorption metal lines during the second, broad maximum. The spectra of AT 2018bwo are markedly different, with a very red continuum dominated by broad molecular features in absorption. As these spectra closely resemble those of LRNe after the second peak, AT 2018bwo was probably discovered at the very late evolutionary stages. This would explain its fast evolution and the spectral properties compatible with that of an M-type star. From the analysis of deep frames of the LRN sites years before the outburst, and considerations of the light curves, the quiescent progenitor systems of the three LRNe were likely massive, with primaries ranging from about 13 M for AT 2018bwo, to 141+4 M⊙ for AT 2021blu, and over 40 M for AT 2021afy. © 2023 The Authors.Ítem Hidden shock powering the peak of SN 2020faa(EDP Sciences, 2023) Salmaso I.; Cappellaro E.; Tartaglia L.; Benetti S.; Botticella M.T.; Elias-Rosa N.; Pastorello A.; Patat F.; Reguitti A.; Tomasella L; Valerin G.; Yang S.Context. The link between the fate of the most massive stars and the resulting supernova (SN) explosion is still a matter of debate, in major part because of the ambiguity among light-curve powering mechanisms. When stars explode as SNe, the light-curve luminosity is typically sustained by a central engine (radioactive decay, magnetar spin-down, or fallback accretion). However, since massive stars eject considerable amounts of material during their evolution, there may be a significant contribution coming from interactions with the previously ejected circumstellar medium (CSM). Reconstructing the progenitor configuration at the time of explosion requires a detailed analysis of the long-term photometric and spectroscopic evolution of the related transient. Aims. In this paper, we present the results of our follow-up campaign of SN 2020faa. Given the high luminosity and peculiar slow light curve, it is purported to have a massive progenitor. We present the spectro-photometric dataset and investigate different options to explain the unusual observed properties that support this assumption. Methods. We computed the bolometric luminosity of the supernova and the evolution of its temperature, radius, and expansion velocity. We also fit the observed light curve with a multi-component model to infer information on the progenitor and the explosion mechanism. Results. Reasonable parameters are inferred for SN 2020faa with a magnetar of energy, Ep = 1.5-0.2+0.5 × 1050 erg, and spin-down time, tspin = 15 ± 1 d, a shell mass, Mshell = 2.4-0.4+0.5 Mo, and kinetic energy, Ekin(shell) = 0.9-0.3+0.5 × 1051 erg, and a core with Mcore = 21.5-0.7+1.4 Mo and Ekin(core) = 3.9-0.4+0.1 × 1051 erg. In addition, we need an extra source to power the luminosity of the second peak. We find that a hidden interaction with either a CSM disc or several delayed and choked jets is a viable mechanism for supplying the required energy to achieve this effect. © The Authors 2023.Ítem 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, JunboWe 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.Ítem SNhunt151: An explosive event inside a dense cocoon(Oxford University Press, 2018-04) Elias-Rosa N.; Benetti S.; Cappellaro E.; Pastorello A.; Terreran G.; Morales-Garoffolo A.; Howerton S.C.; Valenti S.; Kankare E.; Drake A.J.; Djorgovski S.G.; Tomasella L.; Tartaglia L.; Kangas T.; Ochner P.; Filippenko A.V.; Ciabattari F.; Geier S.l; Howell D.A.; Isern J.; Leonini S.; Pignata G.; Turatto M.SNhunt151 was initially classified as a supernova (SN) impostor (nonterminal outburst of a massive star). It exhibited a slow increase in luminosity, lasting about 450 d, followed by a major brightening that reaches MV ≈ -18 mag. No source is detected to MV ≳ -13 mag in archival images at the position of SNhunt151 before the slow rise. Low-to-mid-resolution optical spectra obtained during the pronounced brightening show very little evolution, being dominated at all times by multicomponent Balmer emission lines, a signature of interaction between the material ejected in the new outburst and the pre-existing circumstellar medium. We also analysed mid-infrared images from the Spitzer Space Telescope, detecting a source at the transient position in 2014 and 2015. Overall, SNhunt151 is spectroscopically a Type IIn SN, somewhat similar to SN 2009ip. However, there are also some differences, such as a slow pre-discovery rise, a relatively broad light-curve peak showing a longer rise time (~50 d), and a slower decline, along with a negligible change in the temperature around the peak (T ≤ 104 K). We suggest that SNhunt151 is the result of an outburst, or an SN explosion, within a dense circumstellar nebula, similar to those embedding some luminous blue variables like η Carinae and originating from past mass-loss events. © 2017 The Author(s).
