The Light Curve in Supernova Modeled by a Continuous Radioactive Decay of 56
نویسنده
چکیده
The UVOIR bolometric light curves are usually modeled by the radioactive decay. In order to model more precisely the absolute/apparent magnitude versus time relationship the continuous production of radioactive isotopes is introduced. A differential equation of the first order with separable variables is solved.

Why did Supernova 1054 shine at late times ?
The Crab nebula is the remnant of supernova 1054 (SN 1054). The progenitor of this supernova has, based on nucleosynthesis arguments, been modeled as an 8 − 10 M ⊙ star. Here we point out that the observations of the late light curve of SN 1054, from the historical records, are not compatible with the standard scenario, in which the late time emission is powered by the radioactive decay of smal...
متن کاملOptical and near infrared observations of SN 1998 bu ⋆
Infrared and optical spectra of SN 1998bu at an age of one year after explosion are presented. The data show evidence for the radioactive decay of 56 Co to 56 Fe, long assumed to be the powering source for the supernova light curve past maximum light. The spectra provide direct evidence for at least 0.4 solar masses of iron being present in the ejecta of the supernova. The fits to the data also...
متن کاملOptical and Infrared Observations of Radioactive Elements in Supernovae
At late phases the powering of supernova light curves is often provided by the decay of radioactive elements synthesized in the explosions. This is unambiguously revealed when the light curve decline follows the half life time of the decaying elements, and the bolometric luminosity then directly provides the mass of ejected radioactive material. I will focus on the best observed element, Ni, an...

We report 139 photometric observations through the B, V, and I filters of the supernova SN 1998bw, an object which is associated with the Gamma-Ray Burst GRB 980425. Detailed light curves of this unique supernova can be compared to theoretical models, so we report here our light curve for 123 days between 27 June 1998 and 28 October 1998. The light curve of SN 1988bw is consistent with those of...
متن کاملRadioactive Decay Energy Deposition in Supernovae and the Exponential/quasi-exponential Behavior of Late-time Supernova Light Curves
The radioactive decay energy (RDE) deposition in supernovae from the decay chain Ni →56Co →56Fe usually directly powers the ultraviolet/optical/infrared (UVOIR) bolometric luminosity of supernovae in their quasi-steady state phase until very late times. The result for this phase is exponential/quasiexponential UVOIR bolometric light curves and often exponential/quasi-exponential broad band ligh...
