Did Sn 1989b Exhibit a Light Echo?
نویسندگان
چکیده
The late light curves of SN 1989B exhibited an emission excess relative to other type Ia supernovae. We investigate whether this emission excess suggests light echo emission from this supernova, or rather intense background galaxy contamination at the location of the supernova. We conclude that stellar emission can better explain the late spectra, and that the emission excess is likely due to background contamination.

Detection of a Light Echo from Sn 1998
About 500d after explosion the light curve of the Type Ia SN 1998bu suddenly flattened and at the same time the spectrum changed from the typical nebular emission to a blue continuum with broad absorption and emission features reminiscent of the SN spectrum at early phases. We show that in analogy to SN 1991T (Schmidt et al. 1994), this can be explained by the emergence of a light echo from a f...
متن کاملA Light Echo from Type Ia Supernova SN 1995E?
We identify a light echo candidate from Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging of NGC 2441, the host galaxy of the Type Ia supernova 1995E. From the echo’s angular size and the estimated distance to the host galaxy, we find a distance of 207±35 pc between the dust and the site of the supernova. If confirmed, this echo brings the total number of observed non-historical Type Ia light echoes to thre...
متن کاملOptical and infrared observations of the Type IIP SN 2002 hh from day 3 to 397
We present optical and infrared (IR) observations of the type II SN 2002hh from 3 to 397 days after explosion. The optical spectroscopic (4–397 d) and photometric (3–278 d) data are complemented by spectroscopic (137–381 d) and photometric(137– 314 d) data acquired at IR wavelengths. This is the first time L-band spectra have ever been successfully obtained for asupernova at a distance beyond t...
متن کاملA Scattered Light Echo around SN 1993 J in M 81
A light echo around SN 1993J was observed 8.2 years after explosion by a HST WFPC2 observation, adding to the small family of supernovae with light echoes. The light echo was formed by supernova light scattered from a dust sheet, which lies 220 parsecs away from the supernova, 50 parsecs thick along the line of sight, as inferred from radius and width of the light echo. The dust inferred from t...
متن کاملExtraordinary Late - Time Infrared Emission of Type Iin Supernovae
Near-Infrared (NIR) observations are presented for five Type IIn supernovae (SN 1995N, SN 1997ab, SN 1998S, SN 1999Z, and SN 1999el) that exhibit strong infrared excesses at late times (t & 100 d). H and K -band emission from these objects is dominated by a continuum that rises toward longer wavelengths. The data are interpreted as thermal emission from dust, probably situated in a pre-existing...
