Mass loss and supernova progenitors
نویسنده
چکیده
We first discuss the mass range of type IIP SN progenitors and how the upper and lower limits impose interesting constraints on stellar evolution. Then we discuss the possible implications of two SNe, 2002ap and 2006jc, for Wolf-Rayet star mass-loss rates and long Gamma-ray bursts.

Circumstellar Nebulae in Young Supernova Remnants
Supernovae descendent from massive stars explode in media that have been modified by their progenitors’ mass loss and UV radiation. The supernova ejecta will first interact with the circumstellar material shed by the progenitors at late evolutionary stages, and then interact with the interstellar material. Circumstellar nebulae in supernova remnants can be diagnosed by their small expansion vel...
متن کاملThe Progenitors of Core - Collapse Supernovae
We present maps of the nature of single star progenitors of supernovae and their remnants in mass and metallicity space. We find our results are similar to others but we have gone further in varying the amount of mixing and using various mass-loss schemes to see how the maps change. We find that extra-mixing, in the form of convective overshooting, moves boundaries such as the minimum mass for ...
متن کاملHelium-Star Mass Loss and its Implications for Black-Hole Formation and Supernova Progenitors
Recently the observationally derived stellar-wind mass-loss rates for WolfRayet stars, or massive naked helium stars, have been revised downwards by a substantial amount. We present evolutionary calculations of helium stars incorporating such revised mass-loss rates, as well as mass transfer to a close compact binary companion. Our models reach final masses well in excess of 10 M , consistent w...
متن کاملThe Stellar Ancestry of Supernova Progenitors in the Magellanic Clouds - I. the Most Recent Supernovae in the Large Magellanic Cloud
We use the star formation history map of the Large Magellanic Cloud recently published by Harris & Zaritsky to study the sites of the eight smallest (and presumably youngest) supernova remnants in the Cloud: SN 1987A, N158A, N49, and N63A (core collapse remnants), 0509−67.5, 0519−69.0, N103B, and DEM L71 (Type Ia remnants). The local star formation histories provide unique insights into the nat...
متن کاملAnobservational Limit on Circumstellarh from Supernova 1994d
We searched for narrow H in a high-resolution spectrum of SN 1994D taken 10 days before maximum, and found none. We estimate the limit this places on the progenitor mass loss, and nd that it is competitive with recent radio limits, and excludes the highest-mass-loss-rate symbiotic systems as possible progenitors of the normal Type Ia SN 1994D.
