Optical photometry and spectroscopy of the Type Ibn supernova SN 2006jc until the onset of dust formation

Abstract: We present optical UBVRI photometric and spectroscopic data of the Type Ibn supernova SN 2006jc, until the onset of the dust‐forming phase. The optical spectrum shows a blue continuum and is dominated by the presence of moderately narrow (velocity ∼2500 km s−1) He i emission lines superimposed over a relatively weak supernova spectrum. The helium lines are produced in a pre‐existing He‐rich circumstellar shell. The observed helium line fluxes indicate the circumstellar shell is dense, with a density of ∼109–10… Show more

“…Given the uncertainties involved in the derivations, it is encouraging to note that these estimates are consistent with the dust masses computed for other SNe IIn (e.g., Gerardy et al 2002;Pozzo et al 2004;Meikle et al 2007;Trundle et al 2009;Andrews et al 2011;Gall et al 2011), and the Type Ibn SN 2006jc (Smith et al 2008b;Di Carlo et al 2008;Nozawa et al 2008;Mattila et al 2008;Anupama et al 2009;Sakon et al 2009). …”

“…The minimal velocity of ∼800 km s −1 could be associated with the cloud shocks speed and perhaps with the velocity of the undisturbed CSM. The latter is about 620 km s −1 as indicated by the absorption minimum of narrow lines of O i 7773 Å and He i 6678 Å (Anupama et al 2009). Interestingly, the expansion velocity of CSM of SN 2000er indicated by narrow He i absorption components in early spectra is 800–900 km s −1 (Pastorello et al 2008), close to this value.…”

“…Balmer lines were not visible or extremely weak (Pastorello et al 2008b). The natural explanation is that the outbursting progenitor was not an LBV but was instead a WR star (Pastorello et al 2007a;Foley et al 2007;Immler et al 2008;Tominaga et al 2008;Anupama et al 2009).…”
