Data pubblicazione: | 2019 | Rivista: | MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY | Numero: | 482 | Fascicolo: | 2 | Da pagina:: | 2750 | Abstract: | We present photometric and spectroscopic analysis of the peculiar core-collapse supernova (SN) 2013gc, spanning 7 yr of observations. The light curve shows an early maximum followed by a fast decline and a phase of almost constant luminosity. At +200 d from maximum, a brightening of 1 mag is observed in all bands, followed by a steep linear luminosity decline after +300 d. In archival images taken between 1.5 and 2.5 yr before the explosion, a weak source is visible at the supernova location, with mag ≈20. The early supernova spectra show Balmer lines, with a narrow (∼560 km s<SUP>-1</SUP>) P-Cygni absorption superimposed on a broad (∼3400 km s<SUP>-1</SUP>) component, typical of Type IIn events. Through a comparison of colour curves, absolute light curves, and spectra of SN 2013gc with a sample of supernovae IIn, we conclude that SN 2013gc is a member of the so-called Type IId subgroup. The complex profile of the H α line suggests a composite circumstellar medium geometry, with a combination of lower velocity, spherically symmetric gas, and a more rapidly expanding bilobed feature. This circumstellar medium distribution has been likely formed through major mass-loss events that we directly observed from 3 yr before the explosion. The modest luminosity (M<SUB>I</SUB> ∼ -16.5 near maximum) of SN 2013gc at all phases, the very small amount of ejected <SUP>56</SUP>Ni (of the order of 10<SUP>-3</SUP> M<SUB>☉</SUB>), the major pre-supernova stellar activity, and the lack of prominent [O I] lines in the late-time spectra support a fall-back core-collapse scenario for the massive progenitor of SN 2013gc. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/28955 | URL: | https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article/482/2/2750/5142715 | ISSN: | 0035-8711 | DOI: | 10.1093/mnras/sty2870 | Bibcode ADS: | 2019MNRAS.482.2750R | Fulltext: | open |
