Imaging of Radio Supernovae

چکیده
As the shock and expanding shell of a supernova plow out through the circumstellar material at thousands of km s −1 , radio emission is generated. VLBI observations of this radio emission are presently the only means to directly image the expanding shell of any supernova much farther away than SN 1987A. The last decade has seen great progress in VLBI imaging of radio supernovae. In particular, SN 1993J in the galaxy M81 provided a rare opportunity to closely study an expanding super-nova, and has been intensively observed. I summarize some of the results on SN 1993J and other radio supernovae, and compare the different observed radio supernovae. I briefly discuss the future prospects of radio supernovae imaging.

متن کاملHigh-resolution Radio Imaging of Young Supernovae
The high resolution obtained through the use of VLBI gives an unique opportunity to directly observe the interaction of an expanding radio supernova with its surrounding medium. We present here results from our VLBI observations of the young supernovae SN 1979C, SN 1986J, and SN 2001gd.
متن کاملRadio Supernovae Radio Supernovae
In this article I will briefly review the current status of radio observations of nearby supernovae and their remnants. This review will initially address observations of the radio light curves of nearby core-collapse supernovae, followed by a more detailed summary of recent Very Long Baseline Interferometric observations of the expansion of nearby supernovae and their remnants. These later sec...
متن کاملRadio Observations of a Sample of Broad-lined Type Ic Supernovae Discovered by Ptf/iptf: a Search for Relativistic Explosions
Long duration γ-ray bursts are thought to be a rare subclass of stripped-envelope core-collapse supernovae that launch collimated relativistic outflows (jets). All γ-ray-burst-associated supernovae are spectroscopically of Type Ic with broad lines, but the fraction of broad-lined Type Ic supernovae harboring low-luminosity γ-ray-bursts remains largely unconstrained. Some supernovae should be ac...
متن کاملAn X-ray View of Radio Sources
We review recent examples where the synergy between radio and X-ray observations has led to substantial progress in understanding astronomical systems. The sub-arcsecond imaging capabilities of the Chandra X-ray observatory provides a 100-fold improvement for comparing X-ray and radio structures. We specifically discuss examples which provide insight into the outflow of material and energy from...
