Abstract:
Over recent decades, robotic (or highly automated) searches for
supernovae (SNe) have discovered several thousand events, many of them
in quite nearby galaxies (distances <30Mpc). Most of these SNe,
including some of the best-studied events to date, were found before
maximum brightness and have associated with them extensive follow-up
photometry and spectroscopy. Some of these discoveries are so-called
"SN impostors," thought to be superoutbursts of luminous blue variable
stars, although possibly a new, weak class of massive-star explosions.
We conducted a Snapshot program with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST)
and obtained images of the sites of 31 SNe and four impostors, to
acquire late-time photometry through two filters. The primary aim of
this project was to reveal the origin of any lingering energy for each
event, whether it is the result of radioactive decay or, in some
cases, ongoing late-time interaction of the SN shock with preexisting
circumstellar matter, or the presence of a light echo. Alternatively,
lingering faint light at the SN position may arise from an underlying
stellar population (e.g., a host star cluster, companion star, or a
chance alignment). The results from this study complement and extend
those from Snapshot programs by various investigators in previous HST
cycles.
Description:
In this paper, we present the results of HST Snapshot program GO-16179
(PI: A. Filippenko), along with some data from previous Snapshot
programs such as GO-14668 and GO-15166 (PI: A. Filippenko).
The program was executed during HST Cycle 28 from 2020 November 11
through 2021 September 24, with the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) UVIS.
The original observing request was for 55 visits, consisting of nine
SNe Ia, 27 Type Ib/c SNe (SNe Ib/c), 12 SNe II, and seven SN
impostors, of which 38 visits (∼70%) were actually executed.
All of the data presented in this article were obtained from the
Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes (MAST) at the Space Telescope
Science Institute (STScI). The specific observations analyzed can be
accessed via doi:10.17909/qz85-k192
