The Interaction of Supernova 2018evt with a Substantial Amount of Circumstellar Matter -- An SN1997cy-like Event

Abstract: A rare class of supernovae (SNe) is characterized by strong interaction between the ejecta and several solar masses of circumstellar matter (CSM) as evidenced by strong Balmer-line emission. Within the first few weeks after the explosion, they may display spectral features similar to overluminous Type Ia SNe, while at later phase their observation properties exhibit remarkable similarities with some extreme case of Type IIn SNe that show strong Balmer lines years after the explosion. We present polarimetric ob… Show more

“…The slowly declining luminosity in the optical and NIR (Figures 1 and Extended Data 4) and the broad, long-lived Hα line (as shown in [27] and Figures Extended Data 7 and Extended Data 10) dominating the late-time spectra of SN 2018evt support the suggestion of a continuous interaction between the expanding SN ejecta and an extended ambient CSM. In such a context, a cold dense shell (CDS) develops during the ejecta-CSM interaction, with the CDS being located at a region in between the shocked CSM and the shocked ejecta [33].…”

“…After day +310, the dust formed in the CDS gradually blocks the receding side of the Hα line again, resulting in a blueward shift of the line profiles (panel (c) of Figure 3). The presence of a highly asymmetric ejecta-CSM interaction zone is also supported by detailed spectropolarimetry of SN 2018evt which shows a wavelength-independent degree of polarization with non-evolving position angles that is characteristic of electron scattering/dust from a highly axisymmetric configuration [21,42,27]. Both models A and B are spherically symmetric.…”
