Abstract:
We present new photometric observations of supernova (SN) 2003ie
starting one month before discovery, obtained serendipitously while
observing its host galaxy. With only a weak upper limit derived on the
mass of its progenitor (<25M☉) from previous pre-explosion
studies, this event could be a potential exception to the "red
supergiant (RSG) problem" (the lack of high-mass RSGs exploding as
Type IIP SNe). However, this is true only if SN2003ie was a Type IIP
event, something which has never been determined. Using recently
derived core-collapse SN light-curve templates, as well as by
comparison to other known SNe, we find that SN2003ie was indeed a
likely Type IIP event. However, with a plateau magnitude of ~-15.5mag,
it is found to be a member of the faint Type IIP class. Previous
members of this class have been shown to arise from relatively
low-mass progenitors (<12M☉). It therefore seems unlikely that
this SN had a massive RSG progenitor. The use of core-collapse SN
light-curve templates is shown to be helpful in classifying SNe with
sparse coverage. These templates are likely to become more robust as
large homogeneous samples of core-collapse events are collected.
Description:
We used the BVRI photometer with the AP7p CCD camera mounted on the
AZT-8 70cm Crimean Reflector to observe the galaxy NGC 4051 during the
months of 2003 July to 2004 January. Several observations captured
SN2003ie, starting from 2003 August 18 (approximately one month before
discovery). We calibrate our photometry to Sloan Digital Sky Survey
(SDSS) stars in the field, converting their magnitudes to the
Johnson-Cousins system
