Study of the type IIP supernova 2008gz
Roy et al. 2011, MNRAS accepted
Supernovae: Catastrophic cosmic explosions Energy released ~10^46 J Responsible for chemical enrichment of
galaxies Trigger new star formation SNe link to neutron stars, black holes,
GRBs, …..

Supernova family (spectra and light curve) Type I Type II
Ia Silicon lines no Hydrogen Ib no Si but rich He Ic no Si, poor/or no He Ibc_pec (no H but unusual LC and spectra)
IIP, show plateau in the light curve with Hydrogen IIL, linear decay of light curve IIn, narrow emission lines IIb, early time dominant H (like II) But later similar to Ib

Supernovae family: (early spectra and light curve) SN type I > 55%
SN type II ~ 41%
Core collapse SNe Ib, Ic, Ibc_pec, IIL, IIP, IIb, IIn
Smith, N. et al. 2010
Type IIP SNe show variation in their luminosity, velocity and Ni production.
Supernova 2008gz
Host: Spiral galaxy NGC 3672
Explosion date (UT): 5.83 Nov 2008
RΑ (J2000): 11h 25m 3s
DEC (J2000): -09º 47' 51''
Observations: BVRI data 1m, ST ARIES, India 2m, IGO IUCAA, India 3.6m, NTT ESO, Chile Spectra 2m, IUCAA 3.5m, TNG 3.6m, NTT 6m, SAO Russia
Light curve in BVRI magnitudes
+87d to +275d since explosion SN detected very close to end
of plateau phase Time of inflection 115± 5 days
Bolometric light curve
Nebular phase governed by radioactive decay of Ni to Co to Fe
=> tail luminosity is proportional to Ni synthesized.
(Arnett 1980, 1996)
Derived tail luminosity
= 1.51± 0.29 * 10^41 erg/s
Comparison of absolute V mag to other IIP SNe
Unusual V dropping ~1.5mag
during plateau to nebular phase
SN 2008gz spectra (late plateau to deep nebular )
Late plateau Nebular
Late nebular
Velocity profile of different elements
Photospheric velocity is a good indicator of explosion energy
(Dessart et al. 2010)
=>SN 2008gz has explosion energy 2.3*10^51erg similar to SN2004et
Summary Photometric and spectral nature of this event is similar to
normal type IIP SNe 2004et and 1999em. The plateau phase lasted about 115±5 days.
Photospheric velocity ~ 4000 km/s at similar epoch comparable to SN 2004et.
Explosion energy 2-3 * 10^51 erg/s. SN 2008gz exhibits rarely observed drop of 1.5 mag in V,
within 30 days from plateau to nebular phase. Synthesized Ni during the explosion 0.05± 0.01 M_sun.
