摘要: We present observations of SDF-05M05, an unusual optical transient discovered in the Subaru Deep Field (SDF). The duration of the transient is >~800 days in the observer frame, and the maximum brightness during observation reached approximately 23 mag in the i' and z bands. The faint host galaxy is clearly identified in all five optical bands of the deep SDF images. The photometric redshift of the host yields z ~ 0.6 and the corresponding absolute magnitude at maximum is 20. This implies that this event shone with an absolute magnitude brighter than -19 mag for approximately 300 days in the rest frame, which is significantly longer than a typical supernova and ultraluminous supernova. The total radiated energy during our observation was 1 x 10 super(51) erg. The light curves and color evolution are marginally consistent with some luminous IIn supernovae. We suggest that the transient may be a unique and peculiar supernova at intermediate redshift. 出版者: Bristol: IOP 出版日期: 2012-11-20 出處: Astrophysical journal.
