The Progenitor and Early Evolution of the Type IIb SN 2016gkg

Abstract: We report initial observations and analysis on the Type IIb SN 2016gkg in the nearby galaxy NGC 613. SN 2016gkg exhibited a clear double-peaked light curve during its early evolution, as evidenced by our intensive photometric follow-up campaign. SN 2016gkg shows strong similarities with other Type IIb SNe, in particular with respect to the He I emission features observed in both the optical and near infrared. SN 2016gkg evolved faster than the prototypical Type IIb SN 1993J, with a decline similar to that of S… Show more

“…This lightcurve evolution is indicative of a massive progenitor that explodes via core collapse. A similar early-time bump was also detected in the Type Ib SN 1999ex (Stritzinger et al 2002), and in recent years early bumps have been used to constrain the radius of the progenitor star in a number of cases, such as SN 2008D (Chevalier & Fransson 2008;Bersten et al 2013), SN 2011dh (Arcavi et al 2011;Soderberg et al 2012;Bersten et al 2012), SN 2011fu (Kumar et al 2013), SN 2011hs (Bufano et al 2014), SN 2013df (Morales-Garoffolo et al 2014, and SN 2016gkg (Tartaglia et al 2017;Arcavi et al 2017). …”

“…In light of current and upcoming surveys such as the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN; Shappee et al 2014;Kochanek et al 2017), the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS; Tonry 2011; Tonry et al 2016), the Distance Less Than 40 Mpc survey (DLT40; Tartaglia et al 2017), Pan-STARRS1 (Magnier et al 2013), and the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF; Smith et al 2014), progressively more young SE SNe will be discovered within hours of explosion. These early discoveries, coupled with high-cadence spectroscopy at medium or high resolutions, offer the potential to provide new constraints on SE SN progenitors, their pre-SN history, and the reddening of light produced by circumstellar dust.…”

“…Alternatively, "flash spectroscopy" at very early phases can probe the physical properties of the CSM as well as the mass-loss history of the progenitor star prior to its explosion (e.g., Gal-Yam et al 2014;Smith et al 2015;Khazov et al 2016;Yaron et al 2017). Even when archival HST data are available, radius estimates through the analysis of very early data can give important results, since the progenitor field might be contaminated by the presence of binary companions (e.g., Tartaglia et al 2017a).…”

“…SN1993J in M81 attracted considerable interest in part owing to its proximity (3.6 Mpc), which enabled the detection of not just the progenitor star (Aldering et al 1994;Van Dyk et al 2002) but also a putative early B-type supergiant companion star (Maund et al 2004;Fox et al 2014). Progenitor stars have also been identified in pre-explosion images of the TypeIIb SNe 2008ax (Crockett et al 2008;Folatelli et al 2015), 2011dh (Maund et al 2011;Van Dyk et al 2011), 2013df (Van Dyk et al 2014, and 2016gkg (Kilpatrick et al 2017;Tartaglia et al 2017;Bersten et al 2018), while searches for a binary companion to SN2011dh are inconclusive (Folatelli et al 2014;Maund et al 2015). The relatively low initial masses inferred from these SNeIIb progenitors, which overlap with the progenitor mass range of SNeIIP (Smartt 2009), further complicate the hypothesis that SNeIIb form a transition from normal SNeIIP/IIL to SNeIbc with increasing initial mass and/ or mass loss rate.…”
