Abstract:	摘要： We present the discovery, classification, and extensive panchromatic (from radio to X-ray) follow-up observations of PTF11qcj, a supernova (SN) discovered by the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF). Our observations with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array show that this event is radio-loud: PTF11qcj reached a radio peak luminosity comparable to that of the famous gamma-ray-burst-associated SN 1998bw (L sub(5 GHz) approximately 10 super(29) erg s super(-1) Hz super(-1)). PTF11qcj is also detected in X-rays with the Chandra Observatory, and in the infrared band with Spitzer. Our multi-wavelength analysis probes the SN interaction with circumstellar material. The radio observations suggest a progenitor mass-loss rate of ~10 super(-4) M sub([middot in circle]) yr super(-1) x ([upsilon] sub(w)/1000 km s super(-1)), and a velocity of approximately 0.3-0.5 c for the fastest moving ejecta (at approximately 10 days after explosion). However, these estimates are derived assuming the simplest model of SN ejecta interacting with a smooth circumstellar wind, and do not account for possible inhomogeneities in the medium and asphericity of the explosion. The radio data show deviations from such a simple model, as well as a late-time re-brightening. The X-ray flux from PTF11qcj is compatible with the high-frequency extrapolation of the radio synchrotron emission (within the large uncertainties). A light echo from pre-existing dust is in agreement with our infrared data. Our pre-explosion data from the PTF suggest that a precursor eruption of absolute magnitude M sub(r) approximately -13 mag may have occurred approximately 2.5 yr prior to the SN explosion. Overall, PTF11qcj fits the expectations from the explosion of a Wolf-Rayet star. Precursor eruptions may be a feature characterizing the final pre-explosion evolution of such stars. 出版者： United States 出版日期： 2014-02-10 出處： The Astrophysical journal, 2014-02, Vol.782 (1), p.42-18 資源來源： IoP Science journals 識別號： ISSN: 0004-637X 識別號： ISSN: 1538-4357 識別號： EISSN: 1538-4357 識別號： DOI: 10.1088/0004-637X/782/1/42
