Study of late-time ultraviolet emission in core collapse supernovae and its implications for the peculiar transient AT2018cow
[Context] Over time, core-collapse supernova (CCSN) spectra become redder due to dust formation and cooling of the SN ejecta. An ultraviolet (UV) detection of a CCSN at late times will thus indicate an additional physical process, such as an interaction between the SN ejecta and the circumstellar ma...

| Sumario: | [Context] Over time, core-collapse supernova (CCSN) spectra become redder due to dust formation and cooling of the SN ejecta. An ultraviolet (UV) detection of a CCSN at late times will thus indicate an additional physical process, such as an interaction between the SN ejecta and the circumstellar material, or viewing down to the central engine of the explosion. Both of these models have been proposed to explain the peculiar transient AT2018cow, a luminous fast blue optical transient detected in the UV two to four years after the event, with only marginal fading over this time period. |
