Core-Collapse supernovae and its progenitors

TL;DR

This paper reviews observational studies of three Type IIP core-collapse supernovae, focusing on their progenitors' properties and explosion characteristics, to understand the link between progenitor features and supernova outcomes.

Contribution

It provides a detailed analysis of three specific supernovae, highlighting how progenitor mass and metallicity influence explosion parameters and remnant types.

Findings

Progenitor mass and metallicity significantly affect supernova explosion properties.

The observed supernovae originated from progenitors with specific mass ranges.

Explosion parameters correlate with progenitor characteristics.

Abstract

Massive stars unable to sustain gravitational collapse, at the end of nuclear burning stage, turns out into core-collapse supernovae, leaving behind compact objects like neutron stars or black holes. The progenitor properties like mass and metallicity primarily governs the explosion parameters and type of compact remnant. In this contribution we summarize observational study of three Core Collapse type IIP SNe 2012aw, 2013ab and 2013ej, which are rigorously observed from ARIES and other Indian observatories and discuss their progenitor and explosion properties.
