1 OBSERVATIONS OF TYPE II SUPERNOVAE & Ofer Yaron Weizmann Institute for Science In collaboration with: A. Gal-Yam, D. Perley, J. Groh, A. Horesh, E. Ofek, J. Sollerman, C. Fransson, A. Rubin, and others

2 Talk Outline Brief intro to observed CSM configurations What is Flash-Spectroscopy Unique events from the PTF/iPTF survey Additional events to construct a sample / statistics Future expectations (just around the corner ) 2

3 Various signatures of CSM interaction in CC-SNe M w, ρ w (r), ΔR / Δt Flash-spec events low M, high-ish ρ, small ΔR è emission lines gone within several days A continuum of transitional CSM extents è emission lines gone within several weeks OR multiple detached shells? è successive rebrightenings Type IIn SNe high M, ρ, ΔR persistent emission lines over months/years 3

4 SN 2010jl (PTF10aaxf) Ofek et al iptf14flu ~2 weeks from detection ~2 months later 4

6 Evidence for pre-sn (enhanced/eruptive) mass-loss events SN precursor outbursts observed for Type IIn. (e.g. Precursor of SN 2010mc ejected 10-2 M Sun at v~2000 km/s 1 month prior to SN Ofek et al. 2013) and are likely common! >50% with at least 1 precursor brighter than M abs ~-14 and within ~100 days prior to SN. (Ofek et al. 2014) Pre SN mass-loss is not limited to Type IIn. Early spectra (Flash-Spectroscopy) reveal CSM around various Type II SNe. Can all these serve as some evidence for a causal connection between mass-loss episodes and the final SN explosion? How do the outer layers of a massive star know that it is about to explode? (or either receive information from the vigorous final burning stages taking place in the core?) 6

7 What is FLASH-SPECTROSCOPY è Prompt (action+reaction), Strong! Progenitor engulfed with a (relatively) optically thick wind / CSM (continuous or detached). 7

8 What is FLASH-SPECTROSCOPY è Prompt (action+reaction), Strong! Progenitor engulfed with a (relatively) optically thick wind / CSM (continuous or detached). SBO Shock breaks out from the hydrostatic surface (or either in a surrounding optically thick wind). 8

9 What is FLASH-SPECTROSCOPY è Prompt (action+reaction), Strong! Hot SBO flash ionizes the CSM. CSM reacts immediately to the strong radiation field. Recombination (min-hrs) è narrow (CSM-velocity) emission lines. (Light crossing time may smear spectral evolution.) With typical v exp ~10,000 km/s, CSM swept by ejecta within a few days (~5 d till 5e14 cm). 9

10 PTF/iPTF Was not only a powerful discovery machine Palomar Mountain Observatory, CA With human monitors at daylight in Europe during Palomar s night time è Quick response to young SN candidates (alerting & triggering of follow-ups). Discovery Follow-ups 48 robotic telescope, wide-field ~7 deg 2 (~1500 deg 2 / night), 1-day cadence. 10

11 iptf13ast (SN 2013cu) A Flash-Spectroscopy event showing WR-like wind signatures Discovered May 2013 in UGC 9379, ~100 Mpc. Keck spectrum obtained 4 hrs after photometric confirmation, ~15 hrs after explosion. Gal-Yam et al

12 iptf13ast (SN 2013cu) A Flash-Spectroscopy event showing WR-like wind signatures Strong He, N (N IV 7115) and Balmer lines indicate a WN6(h) classification. By day 6 the spectrum is featureless. Later spectra match prototypical Type IIb SNe (semistripped progenitor; low H envelope mass) From high Mdot, rel. low v wind and chemical abundance, progenitor likely a LBV / YHG (Groh 2014) Gal-Yam et al

23 iptf13dqy Constraints from Radio Jansky VLA radio observations (PI Assaf Horesh) on days 70,100 after explosion (centered on 6.1, 22 GHz) resulted in NULL detections. The plotted colored curves display theoretical light curves of radio emission originating from the interaction of SN ejecta with an extended CSM. F ν [mjy] 10 1 Ṁ = 10 5 (22GHz) Ṁ = 10 4 (22GHz) Ṁ = 10 3 (22GHz) Ṁ= (6GHz) Ṁ = 10 5 (6GHz) 10 0 Ṁ = 10 4 (6GHz) Ṁ = 10 3 (6GHz) 22 GHz limits 6 GHz limits The measured limits rule out a wide range of MLRs. In particular that the MLR estimate required to explain the early optical data could not have been sustained over long periods Time since explosion [days] 23

24 Concluding the characterization of the CSM & MLR Our multi-wavelength observations require a confined nearby CSM density profile! Colored diagonal lines: Constant Mdots to 10-1 following: ρ w = Kr -2 = Mdot/4πv w r 2 24

25 Concluding the characterization of the CSM & MLR Mass-loss rate as a function of wind velocity, comparing values for interacting SNe to those of known types of stars (Smith, Handbook of SNe) Wind density parameters the lowest required to make a SN IIn Location of the pre-sn mass-loss episode of iptf13dqy Mdot ~ 10-3 M sun /yr, v w <~ 100 km/s (but over a short period!!!) 25

26 Motivated by the findings of iptf13ast/13dqy How common are flash ionized early spectra? PTF/iPTF sample CC-SNe, 84 of Type II, having a first spectrum within 10 days from the time of the SN pre-explosion limit. FI (Flash-Ionized) spectra all show Hα, Hβ and prominent He II λ4686 (by systematic EW measurement criterion). Khazov, OY, Gal-Yam et al

27 How common are flash ionized early spectra? Results All Flash-Ionized spectra found (12) are of Type II. Within 2 days from explosion, 8/11 SNe are FI or BF. Within 5 days from explosion, 1/5 of the Type II show FI. These FI fractions are a lower limit! There is evidence that late-stage enhanced mass-loss may also be common among progenitors of Low-Luminosity type IIP SNe (SN2016bkv, Hosseinzadeh et al. 2018) Khazov, OY, Gal-Yam et al

28 A plethora of theoretical studies to explain pre-sn outbursts/mass-loss e.g. Wave heating - Convectively driven hydrodynamic waves during late nuclear burning phases (core Ne/O ) able to deposit considerable energy in the envelope layers (Quataert & Shiode 2012, S&Q 2014) Wave-induced mass ejection models by Fuller 2017 predict large - but not extreme - MLRs: Msun/yr, and velocities <~ 100 km/s, like estimated for SN2013fs. The various models produce non-hydrostatitc pre-sn envelope configurations (density profiles) that are different from our prior expectations (therefore should affect fits to shock-cooling models etc ) Jim Fuller

29 What to expect in the nearby future Zwicky Transient Facility Reworked optics, HUGE camera. FOV: 47 sq. deg.!!! Covering ~5000 sq. deg. /night (2-3 visits/night) 1-day partnership cadence HSC, 1.7 deg 2 DES, 2.5 deg 2 PS1, 7 deg 2 PTF/iPTF, 7.3 deg 2 ZTF, 47 deg 2 LSST, 9.6 deg 2 1 deg 29

30 What to expect in the nearby future Zwicky Transient Facility Expected rate: 1..a few young (<1 day old) SN-II per week (to 20 mag) HSC, 1.7 deg PS1, 7 deg 2 Rate (1/week) DES, 2.5 deg h 10 1 Age of SN-II (hr) 24h PTF/iPTF, 7.3 deg 2 ZTF, 47 deg 2 LSST, 9.6 deg 2 1 deg 30

31 Example of a young type II from ZTF: Discovered May 8, with 2 days non-detection limit Spectrum at 8 days from discovery, just beginning to develop low-contrast P-Cyg lines. Discovered by ATLAS 2 d later, on May 10 31

32 What to expect in the nearby future ULTRASAT proposed wide-field UV satellite FOV > 200 sq. deg. Opening a new band (NUV, nm) and a new temporal cadence (1.5 min) not accessible to any other survey. Main science goals: Shock breakout and early shock cooling of CC- SNe. Emission from GW events NS-NS, NS-BH. Also: BlackGem, LSST 32

33 To conclude, take-home messages We have entered an era of < day 1 SN science - discovery and response. Early spectroscopy of CC-SNe directly probes the progenitor s ejecta, thus the progenitor s surface composition. It constrains the progenitor s mass-loss history, during the months-years prior to its demise; thus Placing important constraints on the final stages of massive star evolution as well as providing new sets of initial conditions for explosion models. We conclude that episodic enhanced (eruptive?) mass-loss by massive stars just prior to their terminal explosion, as proposed by several theoretical studies, also occurs among the progenitors of common types of CC-SNe. A continuum of CSM configurations exist, now verified by observations, extending from the short-lived FS events to the extended massive CSM of the standard (sustained interaction emission) Type IIn SNe. The nearby future will be illuminating (hectic?) Flash-Spectroscopy events are not rare, thus application of this method to future observations and samples is a promising prospect. 33

34 To conclude, take-home messages Utilizing cutting-edge technology (wide-field surveys operations and facilities), it is OUR - the observers - role to provide theorists and modelers of stellar evolution and stellar explosions with the required initial conditions and constraints, by gathering information from within the very first hours [and minutes] of SN explosions! 34
