Stockdale 2006 M83中历史上超新星的射电和X射线观测

主要内容:
15年的观测,包括6个超新星。SN 1957D, 1923A, 1950B 都是II型超新星; SNe 1945B, 1968L, and 1983N没有在最近的观测中看到,不过没看到正和模型符合。

精彩摘抄:

Abstract

We report the results of 15 years of radio observations of the six historical supernovae (SNe) in M83 using the Very Large Array. We note the near-linear decline in radio emission from SN 1957D, a Type II SN, which remains a nonthermal radio emitter. The measured flux densities from SNe 1923A and 1950B have flattened as they begin to fade below detectable limits; they are also Type II SNe. The luminosities for these three SNe are comparable with the radio luminosities of other decades-old SNe at similar epochs. SNe 1945B, 1968L, and 1983N were not detected in the most recent observations, and these nondetections are consistent with previous studies. We report the X-ray nondetections of all six historical SNe using the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, consistent with previous X-ray searches of other decades-old SNe and low inferred mass-loss rates of the progenitors [M˙~(10-8 Msolar yr-1)(vw/10 km s-1)].
