4 Dec 2001 | | Journal: | Mon.Not.Roy.Astron.Soc. 330 (2002) 844 | | Subject: | astro-ph | | Affiliation: | Anton Pannekoek Institute, UvA, NL, IoA Cambridge, UK, INAOE, Mexico | | Abstract: | We report the detection of a very narrow P Cygni profile on top of the broad emission Ha and Hb lines of the Type IIn Supernova 1997eg. A similar feature has been detected in SN 1997ab (Salamanca et al. 1998), SN 1998S (Meikle & Geballe 1998, Fassia et al. 2001) and SN 1995G (Filippenko & Schlegel 1995). The detection of the narrow P Cygni profile indicates the existence of a dense circumstellar material (CSM) into which the ejecta of the supernova is expanding. From the analysis of the spectra of SN 1997eg we deduce (a) that such CSM is very dense (n ~ 5x10^7 cm^-3), (b) that has a low expanding velocity of about 160 kms. The origin of such dense CSM can be either a very dense progenitor wind (dotM ~ 10^-2 solar masses per year) or a circumstellar shell product of the progenitor wind expanding into a high pressure environment. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0112067 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
