Abstract
The origin of the circumstellar (CS) shell of the unusual SN Ia 2020aeuh is explored using a light curve model and observational constraints. The synthesized \({}^{56}\)Ni mass (\({\approx}1\)\(M_{\odot}\)), the mass of the CS shell (0.04–0.2 \(M_{\odot}\)), the radius (\(2\times 10^{16}\) cm), and its expansion velocity (\({\lesssim}200\) km s\({}^{-1}\)) have been estimated. The large \({}^{56}\)Ni mass and the properties of the CS shell are consistent with the scenario of a massive binary C/O white dwarf merger that was accompanied by the loss of \({\sim}0.1\)\(M_{\odot}\) of matter. The supernova is shown to have exploded \({\gtrsim}30\) years after the white dwarf merger.
利用光曲线模型和观测约束探讨了不寻常的SN Ia 2020aeuh的星周壳的起源。计算出了合成的\({}^{56}\) Ni质量(\({\approx}1\)\(M_{\odot}\))、CS壳层质量(0.04-0.2 \(M_{\odot}\))、半径(\(2\times 10^{16}\) cm)和膨胀速度(\({\lesssim}200\) km s \({}^{-1}\))。巨大的\({}^{56}\) Ni质量和CS壳层的性质与巨大的C/O二元白矮星合并的情景一致,伴随着\({\sim}0.1\)\(M_{\odot}\)物质的损失。这颗超新星在白矮星合并后\({\gtrsim}30\)年爆炸。
