DELHI : 10 JUL 2021\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

An extremely bright, hydrogen deficient, fast-evolving supernova that shines with the energy borrowed from\u00a0an exotic type of neutron star with an ultra-powerful magnetic field has been spotted by Indian researchers. Deep study of such ancient spatial objects can help\u00a0probe the mysteries of the early universe.<\/p>\n

Such type of supernovae called\u00a0SuperLuminous Supernova (SLSNe)\u00a0is very rare. This is because they\u00a0are generally originated from very massive stars (minimum mass limit is more than 25 times to that of the Sun), and the number distribution of such massive stars in our galaxy or in nearby galaxies is sparse.\u00a0Among them, SLSNe-I has been counted to about 150 entities spectroscopically confirmed so far. These ancient objects are among the least understood SNe because their underlying sources are unclear, and their extremely high peak luminosity is unexplained using the conventional SN power-source model involving Ni56<\/sup>\u00a0– Co56<\/sup>\u00a0– Fe56<\/sup>\u00a0decay.<\/p>\n

SN 2020ank, which was first discovered by the Zwicky Transient Facility on 2020 January 19, was studied by scientists from\u00a0Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences (ARIES) Nainital, an autonomous research institute under the Department of Science and Technology (DST) Govt. of India\u00a0from February 2020 and then through the lockdown phase of March and April. The apparent look of the SN was very similar to other objects in the field. However, once the brightness was estimated, it turned out as a very blue object reflecting its brighter character.<\/p>\n

The team observed it using special arrangements at India\u2019s recently commissioned Devasthal Optical Telescope (DOT-3.6m) along with two other Indian telescopes: Sampurnanand Telescope-1.04m and Himalayan Chandra Telescope-2.0m. They found that the outer layers of the onion structured Supernovae had been peeled off, and the core was shining with a borrowed energy source.\u00a0The study led by Amit Kumar, a Ph.D. student working under Dr. S. B. Pandey published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, suggested a possibly powering source from an\u00a0exotic type of neutron star with an ultra-powerful magnetic field (magnetar) with a total ejected mass of ~ 3.6\u00a0\u4e00\u00a07.2 times the mass of the sun.<\/p>\n

The study established the role of 3.6. DOT in exploring very rare distant SLSNe in the future.\u00a0Deeper investigations could explore the underlying physical mechanisms, possible progenitors, and environments hosting such rare explosions and their possible associations with other energetic explosions like Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs).<\/p>\n
