Spectroscopic Discovery of the Supernova 2003dh Associated with GRB 030329

Abstract: We present early observations of the afterglow of GRB 030329 and the spectroscopic discovery of its associated supernova SN 2003dh. We obtained spectra of the afterglow of GRB 030329 each night from March 30.12 (0.6 days after the burst) to April 8.13 (UT) (9.6 days after the burst). The spectra cover a wavelength range of 350-850 nm. The early spectra consist of a power-law continuum ( ) with narrow emission lines orig-Ϫ0.9

“…Observationally, all known supernova counterparts of GRBs are Type Ic, with the implication that the dying star lacked an outer hydrogen/helium envelope [16]. The winds of Wolf-Rayet stars, which are typically the cause of the loss of this envelope, are known to increase in strength with stellar metallicity (particularly iron) [44].…”

“…LGRBs have been associated to supernovae (Galama et al 1999;Stanek et al 2003;Hjorth et al 2003;Matheson et al 2003), all of which lacked any hydrogen or helium lines and so were of the type-Ib/c (e.g., Filippenko 1997). In combination with the fact that any outer hydrogen layer of the star would stop the LGRB escaping (MacFadyen & Woosley 1999), means that the hydrogen envelope of the progenitor has to be lost before it undergoes gravitational collapse.…”

“…The association of LGRBs with the death of massive stars (Galama et al 1999;Stanek et al 2003;Hjorth et al 2003;Matheson et al 2003) facilitates their use as star formation tracers and their naturally luminous nature would complement or even surpass conventional methods at high redshift. However, before this connection can be used routinely and robustly, the way in which they trace one another must be known accurately.…”

“…Table 1 shows the list of the spectroscopically identified SN-GRB samples in this work. Three GRBs -030329, 060218, and 100316D (bold fonts in the table) -have secure associations with supernovae since a spectral evolution from a non-thermal power-law to a supernova-like thermal feature is clearly seen in the optical spectroscopic observations (e.g., Stanek et al 2003, Hjorth et al 2003 for GRB 030329; e.g., Pian et al 2006 for GRB 060218; e.g., Chornock et al 2011 for GRB 100316D). …”
