Luminosity distribution of Type II supernova progenitors
Ósmar Rodríguez
Abstract:I present progenitor luminosities (L) for a sample of 112 Type II supernovae (SNe II), computed directly from progenitor photometry and the bolometric correction technique, or indirectly from empirical correlations between progenitor luminosity and [O i] λλ6300, 6364 line luminosity at 350 d since explosion, 56 Ni mass, or absolute V -band magnitude at 50 d since explosion. To calibrate these correlations, I use twelve SNe II with progenitor luminosities measured from progenitor photometry. I find that the cor… Show more
