通过扩张光谱法测量超新星SN 2002ap的距离
摘要
present new optical photometric and spectroscopic data of the bright hypernova SN 2002ap. The obtained BVRI light curves as well as the optical spectra agree well with other published data series. The distance has been inferred by applying the Expanding Photosphere Method for the data around maximum. The derived 6.7 Mpc is in good agreement with recent photometric distances of M74. However, the total (random plus systematic) uncertainty of the EPM-distance is at least 4.5 Mpc (about 70 %). The physical parameters of the SN have been determined via simplified analytic models of the light and velocity curves. It is confirmed that SN 2002ap was a less energetic hypernova, the kinetic energy was 4 - 8 10^51 erg, and the reddening-free absolute bolometric magnitude reached -16.63 mag (corresponding to L_bol = 3.47 10^8 L_solar), about 2 magnitude less than the prototype hypernova SN 1998bw.
