Early Spectroscopic Identification of Sn 2008d

Abstract: SN 2008D was discovered while following up an unusually bright X-ray transient (XT) in the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 2770. We present early optical spectra (obtained 1.75 days after the XT) which allowed the first identification of the object as a supernova (SN) at redshift z = 0.007. These spectra were acquired during the initial declining phase of the light curve, likely produced in the stellar envelope cooling after shock breakout, and rarely observed. They exhibit a rather flat spectral energy distribution … Show more

“…This seems consistent with the identification of intermediate cases such as SN 1999ex which was characterised by weak optical He I lines, and strong He I λλ 10830, 20581 lines in the near-IR (Hamuy et al 2002). Additionally, the transitional nature of SNe such as SN 2005bf (Folatelli et al 2006) and SN 2008D (Soderberg et al 2008;Mazzali et al 2008;Malesani et al 2009), both of which underwent a metamorphosis from a type Ic at early times to a type Ib at later epochs, may also provide an insight into the controversy of He. The current challenge lies in linking the observed variations of type Ib/c SNe to the physical properties of their progenitor systems.…”

“…The detection of an early peak can bring important information on the radius of the progenitor star (Piro & Nakar 2013), but also on the outer structure of the star, the degree of 56 Ni mixing, as well as the presence of a companion or a dense circumstellar material (CSM). Some SE SNe, such as SN Ib 1999ex (Stritzinger et al 2002), SN Ib 2008D (Soderberg et al 2008Malesani et al 2009;Modjaz et al 2009), SN Ib/IIb iPTF13bvn (Fremling et al 2016), and many SNe IIb (e.g., SN 1993J, Richmond et al 1994SN 2011dh, Arcavi et al 2011Ergon et al 2014), do show this kind of early emission. The type Ib/c SN 2013ge showed an early peak but only in the ultra-violet (UV) light curves (Drout et al 2016).…”
