TL;DR
This study investigates the local and global properties of supernova host galaxies using integral field spectroscopy, revealing that most are metal-rich and that supernova types can occur in diverse galactic environments.
Contribution
It provides detailed 2D maps of host galaxy properties at higher redshifts than previous studies, highlighting the relationship between metallicity, stellar mass, and supernova types.
Findings
Most host galaxies are metal-rich with 12+log(O/H) > 8.5.
A positive correlation exists between galaxy stellar mass and gas-phase oxygen abundance.
Both SN Ia and SN II can occur in normal and interacting/merging galaxies.
Abstract
We aim to understand the properties at the locations of supernova (SN) explosion in their host galaxies and compare with the global properties of the host galaxies. We use the integral field spectrograph (IFS) of Mapping Nearby Galaxies (MaNGA) at Apache Point Observatory (APO) to get the 2D maps of the parameter properties for eleven SN host galaxies. The sample galaxies are analyzed one by one in details on their properties of velocity field, star formation rate, oxygen abundance and stellar mass etc. This sample of SN host galaxies have redshifts around 0.03, which is higher than those of the previous related works. The higher redshift distribution allows us to obtain the properties of more distant SN host galaxies. Metallicity (gas-phase oxygen abundance) estimated from integrated spectra could represent the local metallicity at SN explosion sites with small bias. All the…

Abstract
We aim to understand the properties at the locations of supernova (SN) explosion in their host galaxies and compare with the global properties of the host galaxies. We use the integral field spectrograph (IFS) of Mapping Nearby Galaxies (MaNGA) at Apache Point Observatory (APO) to get the 2D maps of the parameter properties for eleven SN host galaxies. The sample galaxies are analyzed one by one in details on their properties of velocity field, star formation rate, oxygen abundance and stellar mass etc. This sample of SN host galaxies have redshifts around 0.03, which is higher than those of the previous related works. The higher redshift distribution allows us to obtain the properties of more distant SN host galaxies. Metallicity (gas-phase oxygen abundance) estimated from integrated spectra could represent the local metallicity at SN explosion sites with small bias. All the host galaxies in our sample are metal-rich galaxies (12+log(O/H) 8.5) except for NGC 6387, which means supernovae (SNe) may be more inclined to explode in rich-metallicity galaxies. There is a positive relation between global gas-phase oxygen abundance and the stellar mass of host galaxies. We also try to compare the differences of the host galaxies between SN Ia and SN II. In our sample, both SNe Ia and SNe II could explode in normal galaxies, while SNe II also could explode in an interactive or merger system, which has star formation in the galaxy.

1 Introduction
Supernovae explosions are one of the most important processes, which mark the end of a stellar’s life. According to the presence or absence of various features in the spectra, supernovae (SNe) are classified into different types (Filippenko et al., 1997). In the spectra of SNe I, hydrogen is absent. While in the SNe II spectra, hydrogen is present. Among Type I SNe, Si line is present in the spectra of SNe Ia, while the Si line is absent in the spectra of SNe Ib/c. The presence or absence of He line distinguishes SNe Ib from SNe Ic (Hamuy et al., 2002; Turatto et al., 2003). According to the light curves, SNe II could be classified into SNe IIP and IIL (Barbon et al., 1979). For the light curves of SNe IIP, there is a fast rise to peak (Rubin et al., 2016) and followed by a long plateau ( 90 days). For SNe IIL, the light curves present a fast rise to peak and then followed by a linear decline ( 1.4 mag/100 days). There are strong narrow or intermediate-width hydrogen emission lines superimposed on an otherwise smooth blue continuum in the spectra of SNe IIn (Schlegel, 1990).
It is generally known that in the end of a star’s life, which has the initial mass larger than about 8 M⊙, the star will explode due to the gravitational collapse and leave the remnant as a neutron star or black hole (Bethe et al., 1979; Arnett et al., 1989). This is the core-collapse supernova (CCSN, including SN II and Ib/c). Becker & Iben (1980) showed that if the initial stellar mass of a star is less than 8M⊙, the star will explode to a degenerate carbon-oxygen (CO) white dwarf, which may be ignited when its mass increases to 1.4 M⊙ due to accreting materials from its non-degenerate companion star, and it can be completely disrupted in a bright thermonuclear explosion that produces a SN Ia (Hoyle & Fowler, 1960). SNe Ia are known as the standard candle to estimate the distance of cosmology and they have led to the discovery of the accelerating expansion of the Universe and dark energy (Riess et al., 1998; Perlmutter et al., 1999).
The relations between different types of SNe and their host galaxies have been studied, such as on the luminosity, color and the explosion environments of SNe, both on SNe Ia (Han et al. 2010) and core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe, Kelly et al. 2012). Prieto et al. (2008) studied the metallicity of host galaxies of different types of SNe and found that SNe Ib/c tend to explode in galaxies with higher metallicity than SNe II. Shao et al. (2014) has compared the properties of the host galaxies of SN Ia, SN II and SN Ibc based on the SDSS DR7 data, with 213 host galaxies as working sample and 689 host galaxies as comparison ones. The sample galaxies of these works are from fiber spectra.
Considering the different stellar populations of HII regions and clumps within one galaxy, the integral field spectroscopy (IFS) of SN host galaxies is necessary to get robust conclusions on the local environment of SNe and their progenitors. The IFS allows the combination of spatial and specific spectral information of the local SNe explosion sites and other sites in the host galaxies, and simultaneously to make it possible to investigate the properties of SN progenitors. Thanks to the improvements and integral-field unit (IFU) spectroscopic survey on modern telescopes, some works have made this possible and focused their studies on the local environment or progenitors of SN.
With the wide-field IFU spectrograph PMAS/PPAK at the 3.5 m telescope of Calar Alto Observatory, Stanishev et al. (2012) compared the properties of 7 nearby Type Ia supernovae explosion sites with those of their host galaxies. Kuncarayakti et al. (2013a) presented their investigation of 11 SNe Ib/Ic explosion sites on the IFS observations obtained using the SuperNova Integral Field Spectrograph (SNIFS) mounted at the University of Hawaii 2.2 m telescope (UH88) and the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph (GMOS) with the 8.1 m Gemini North telescope at Mauna Kea. Kuncarayakti et al. (2013b) performed a similar study for 13 SNe II-P and II-L explosion sites in nearby galaxies. Galbany et al. (2016a) made analysis of the local explosion environments of 11 SNe exploded in 6 nearby galaxies (z 0.016), which were observed by the Multi-Unit Spectroscopy Explorer (MUSE) of Very Large Telescope (VLT).
To obtain more statistic analysis on hosts of different types of SNe, several researches have been enlarged the sample of the SN host galaxies. Based on the Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area (CALIFA), the PPAK IFS Nearby Galaxies Survey (PINGS) and some other observations, Galbany et al. (2014) analyzed IFU spectroscopy of 81 galaxies that hosted 95 SNe with different types. Galbany et al. (2016b) took further extended SN host galaxies and analyzed the metallicity of 115 SN host galaxies. With the PMAS/PPak Integral-field Supernova hosts COmpilation (PISCO), Galbany et al. (2018) presented the properties of a sample of SN hosts with IFS, which included 232 SN host galaxies that hosted 272 SNe. Kuncarayakti et al. (2018) explored and analyzed 83 nearby core-collapse SN explosion sites with IFS. Lyman et al. (2018) performed spectroscopic environmental measurements for a sample of 37 SNe Iax (a peculiar SN class and differ from normal SNe Ia) and their host galaxies using both IFS and long-slit data from VLT/MUSE and Nordic Optical Telescope/Andalucia Faint Object Spectrograph and Camera (NOT/ALFOSC).
The Mapping Nearby Galaxies at APO (MaNGA, Bundy et al. 2015 ) must make important contribution on understanding the properties of SN host galaxies, especially at the SN explosion sites, both on the individual target with detailed analyses and on the statistical properties based on a larger sample of host galaxies with exploration of different types of SNe. Chen et al. (2017) and Izzo et al. (2018) have studied one most nearby superluminous supernova (SLSN) 2017egm using MaNGA IFU data and provide detailed analysis of the nearby environment of this supernova. It is necessary to analyze a larger sample size in detail.
In this paper, we will study the detailed properties of 11 SN host galaxies (4 Type Ia, 5 Type II and 2 unclassified types) by using their IFS observations from MaNGA. We will compare the properties in the region of SNe explosion sites with those of the global regions of the host galaxies, about the properties of star formation rates (SFRs), gas-phase oxygen abundances, stellar masses and stellar population ages etc. Most of our sample of galaxies have redshift around 0.03 following the selection of MaNGA sample galaxies. This redshift value is higher than the SN host galaxies in other work which normally have median value of redshift around 0.01. We will specially discuss this in Sect. 5.1. We will extend our sample size from MaNGA database and try to make a statistical conclusion on the properties of SN host galaxies in the following work.
The paper is organized as follows: In Sect. 2, we present the method used to select our sample. The data reduction of IFU observation is shown in Sect. 3. The properties of environment for different types of SNe are arranged in Sect. 4. Finally, we will discuss our results in Sect. 5 and obtain conclusions in Sect. 6. Throughout this paper, we adopt a cosmological model with = 70 , = 0.3, = 0.7.
2 Sample selection
To select the SN host galaxies within the field of view of MaNGA, we match Asiago supernova catalogue (ASC) with 1390 IFU galaxies from the first MaNGA public data release, which is part of SDSS Data Release (DR13, Albareti et al. 2017). The details of cross-correlation will be described as follows.
2.1 Asiago Supernova Catalogue
Asiago Supernova Catalogue (ASC) was initially developed by Barbon et al. (1984), which displayed some basic information about 568 supernovae and host galaxies explored from the year 1885 to 1983. The global number of 661 supernovae and host galaxies discovered before 1988 December 31 were listed in Barbon et al. (1989). Ten years later, Barbon et al. (1999) presented data of a larger number of 1447 supernovae and host galaxies. Asiago supernova group has been updating continually and has presented 6530 supernovae and their host galaxies discovered before 2016 January 1.
Compared with Sternberg Astronomical Institute (SAI) Supernova Catalogue, which has the latest date of modification of 2014-10-17, ASC has updated more recently, so it presents a lager number of SNe and has more exact information about SNe and their host galaxies. Meanwhile, ASC presents two decimal places in right ascension and declination of supernovae coordinate.
2.2 MaNGA survey
The SDSS-IV/MaNGA survey is designed to mapping 10,000 nearby galaxies and intend to help clarify the process of present galaxies from birth, growth to their death finally (Weijmans & MaNGA Team, 2016; Bundy et al., 2015; Law et al., 2015; Drory et al., 2015; Blanton et al., 2017). To realize the intention of clarifying the process, MaNGA will make good use of the SDSS-III BOSS spectrograph (Smee et al., 2013) to get 2D spectrograph maps. Moreover, the spectra of MaNGA could characterize the internal composition and the dynamical state of a sample of 10,000 galaxies, whose stellar masses are greater than .
The sample of MaNGA is intended to have a Primary and Secondary sample, which should cover more than 1.5 and 2.5 , respectively. The median redshift of Primary and Secondary sample is 0.03 and 0.045, respectively (see Bundy et al. 2015; Law et al. 2015; Wake et al. 2017; Yan et al. 2016 in more detail). Law et al. (2015) found that the best integrated field unit shape is a regular hexagonal form, and it realized 3 m rms fiber placement using MaNGA hardware. We can get the 2D maps of a lot of parameters from MaNGA, including velocity, gas-phase oxygen abundance, star formation rate (SFR), stellar mass etc., to trace the formation and evolution processes of galaxies.
2.3 cross-correlations of catalogs and final sample
To study the local properties of SNe and their host galaxies, we cross-correlate the R.A. and DEC. of 6530 SNe from ASC displayed up to 2015 December 31 with the R.A. and DEC. of 1390 galaxies from MaNGA in SDSS DR13. The largest diameter of IFU size is 32 , so here we adopt 15 as the matching radius. There are 14 sample galaxies selected. There are 3 out of 14 SN host galaxies excluded: 2 of 14 SNe can not been explored in the field of view of MaNGA, and the signal to noise ratio of 1 of 14 SN host galaxies is too low to be analyzed. Finally, we select 11 galaxies in this matching radius that have been observed. The reason why the sample ratio in this work is smaller than that in Galbany et al. (2016b) in CALIFA sample will be discussed in Sect. 5.1.
Fig. 1 shows the range of redshift and absolute magnitude in band (, which are from MaNGA) of our sample galaxies and DR13 MaNGA galaxies marked by grey dots. There is a gap for DR13 MaNGA galaxies, which results from the sample selection of MaNGA (Primary and Secondary Sample, e.g. Wake 2015; Belfiore et al. 2016). From this figure, the of 11 galaxies range from -23 to -19 , and the redshifts are mostly around 0.03 but with one having 0.008 and another having 0.0789. Details of our 11 sample galaxies are presented in Table 1. From Table 1, we can see that there are 4 SNe Ia, 5 SNe II and 2 unclassified type of SNe in our sample. The host galaxies of SN 2004eb (Type II, NGC 6387) and 1999gw (unclassified type, UGC 04881NED02) are in merger system. Especially for SN 1999gw, the interaction region is inside the field of view of MaNGA.
3 Data analysis
3.1 IFS analysis
We go through three steps from MaNGA data cube to galaxy emission line measurements and then use the emission line measurements to obtain the parameters of galaxies, such as gas abundance, SFR etc.
3.1.1 Voronoi 2d binning
Considering that the spectral S/N’s are usually less than 1 at the edge of the MaNGA field of view, we therefore spatially rebin those spaxels with low S/N together to improve the spectral S/N, which allow us to obtain reliable spectral fitting results. For each spectrum, its S/N is defined as the median S/N of the whole spectrum, which is dominated by the continuum, instead of those regions at the blue or red end, or those emission lines.
Here we apply the Voronoi 2D binning method (Cappellari & Copin, 2003) to perform the spatial rebinning, and set the rebinned spectra to have S/N=20, which make sure relative high spatial resolution for our science and high enough S/N for reliable spectral analysis. Before the binning, those spectra with S/N are removed due to their little contribution to the spectral S/N improvement.
3.1.2 Stellar population synthesis
In this work, we apply the STARLIGHT code (Cid Fernandes et al., 2005) and the simple stellar population (SSP) library from BC03 model with Chabrier initial mass function (Chabrier et al., 2003) to perform the spectral fitting and stellar population analysis. For the SSP library, the selected SSP templates include 24 different ages and 6 different metallicities as follows:
- •
The stellar ages: [ 0.001, 0.003, 0.005, 0.007, 0.009, 0.01, 0.014, 0.025, 0.04, 0.055, 0.1, 0.16, 0.29, 0.51, 0.9, 1.28, 1.43, 2.5, 4.25, 6.25, 7.5, 10.0, 13.0, 15.0] Gyr;
- •
The metallicities (): [0.005, 0.02, 0.2, 0.4, 1.0, 2.5].
The current selection on age and metallicity grids allows us to fit both the late and early types of galaxies with different metal abundances.
We resample all the spectra with Å linearly before STARLIGHT fitting. In the spectral fitting, we assume the Calzetti law (Calzetti et al., 2000) for dust extinction correction, and set the parameter as free. Taking into account the uncertainties of flux calibration, we allow a negative in each spectral fitting. Following the suggestions from Cid Fernandes et al. (2005), we de-redshift each spectra to rest-frame wavelength. During the spectral fitting, we only take the spectra with the wavelength ranging from 3700Å to 7000Å , which includes those emission lines from [O II]3727 to [S II]6731 lines.
After the STARLIGHT fitting, 99% of the spectra in our sample have . In this case, the derived stellar population parameters are reliable and have no significant biases (Ge et al., 2018; Cid Fernandes, 2018). Therefore, for the current sample, we can use the STARLIGHT code for both stellar population analysis and emission-line measurements.
3.1.3 Emission-line measurements
As was described in the SDSS spectral fitting paper (Ge et al., 2012), after the STARLIGHT fitting, we resample the model spectra with 1Å to observed spectral resolution. We get the resampled model spectra with continuum and absorption lines subtracted and finally obtain the pure-emission-line spectra. Errors of the data points in the pure-emission-line spectra are taken as the same as those in the MaNGA data cube. In the case of weak emission lines, whether the continuum of pure-emission-line spectra are zero will affect much to the emission-line fitting. We use a linear fit to adjust the shape of continuum, then treat each emission line as a Gaussian with three parameters: line width, flux and offset (with respect to the rest-frame central wavelength). To measure these weak emission lines more accurately, we fixed the offset and width of all emission lines but with flux free. And we also imposed two flux ratio constraints: [O III] 5007/[O III] 4959=2.97 and [N II] 6583/[N III] 6548=3.
3.2 Emission line fluxes and extinction
With the above emission line fitting, we can derive emission-line fluxes of H, H, [O III] 5007, [N II] 6583, [O II] 3727, [S II] 6716/6731. To perform a robust analysis on the emission line related results (e.g. gas metallicity), we then exclude those spaxels that have low S/N (). For instance, to estimate the gas-phase oxygen abundance using O3N2 method (Pettini & Pagel, 2004), only those spaxels that have their emission lines H, H, [O iii] 5007 and [N ii] 6583 measured with S/N simultaneously, are used to calculate the metallicity.
The emission lines fluxes are corrected for dust extinction in the direction of line of sight through galaxies, which could be estimated by H and H emission lines (Osterbrock & Ferland, 2006). In the case B recombination, the ratio of I(H) and I(H) is 2.86, the electron density and electron temperature is and 10,000 K, respectively (Osterbrock & Ferland, 2006). Using the equation of Rv=Av/E(B-V) provided by Fitzpatrick (1999) and the value of Rv=3.1, we compute Av. We can estimate the gas velocity field from the strong H emission lines using the method of Krajnović et al. (2006). Then the position angle (PA) and redshift of the host galaxies could be derived.
3.3 Star formation rate
We estimate the ongoing SFR from H luminosity according to the relation given by Kennicutt (1998):
[TABLE]
where )=4\pi$$d_{L}^{2}$$F(H\alpha), which is H luminosity in units of , is the luminosity distance to the galaxy in units of , is the extinction-corrected flux of H in . Given 2D maps of properties of galaxies, there are two methods to measure global ongoing SFR: summing the SFR of all the single spaxels in the field of view of MaNGA and estimating from the H emission line flux of the global spectra in the field of view of MaNGA. The results of these two methods agree well for the spaxels with high S/N. Here we use the first one to estimate the global SFR of supernovae host galaxies. Also, we estimate the specific star formation rate = SFR/, where is the relevant mass estimated from STARLIGHT code. We generate 2D maps of to show the distributions.
3.4 gas-phase oxygen abundance
There are several methods to estimate the oxygen abundance. The most straightforward approach is electron temperature method (Te method). It is often estimated from [O III] 5007, [O III] 4959/[O III] 4363(e.g. Stasińska 2006; Izotov et al. 2006; Liang et al. 2006, 2007; Yin et al. 2007). But we should notice that the most important and temperature sensitive emission line [O III] 4363 is difficult to measure, especially in metal-rich environment (Izotov et al., 2006). All of our sample galaxies don’t have strong [O III] 4363 line. Therefore, we have to use other strong line methods to estimate oxygen abundance, like O3N2, N2O2 and methods.
is one of the most commonly used methods (Pilyugin & Thuan 2005; Pagel et al. 1979; McGaugh 1991; Zaritsky et al. 1994; Tremonti et al. 2004; Kewley & Dopita. 2002; Kobulnicky & Kewley 2004; Pilyugin 2001):
[TABLE]
It has a special feature, sometimes also a severe defect that metallicity increases with increasing in the metal-poor branch, but decreases in the metal-rich branch. So, the key problem of is to choose the real relation to avoid double peaks. Here we apply the relation in Tremonti et al. (2004) to estimate the gas-phase oxygen abundance:
[TABLE]
This relation is only suitable for galaxies with metal-rich environment ().
In this work, we also use O3N2 and N2O2 methods. Alloin et al. (1979) gave O3N2:
[TABLE]
Pettini & Pagel (2004) showed that there is an apparent and significant linear relation between O3N2 and log(O/H) when the value of O3N2 locates in the region between -1 and 1.9:
[TABLE]
Liang et al. (2006) used a sample ( , ) from SDSS to acquire the linear relation:
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
Compared with other methods, Zhang et al. (2017) indicated that metallicities estimated using N2O2 method have smallest bias and error for Diffuse Ionized Gas (DIG) and H II regions. According to Zhang et al. (2017), the N2O2 method can only be affected by N/O abundance ratio and temperature, but it is not subject to ionization parameter and ionizing spectrum shape variation (Dopita et al. 2000, 2013). The key problem for this method is dust extinction should be corrected accurately.
4 Results
From emission line fluxes, we obtain dust extinction, SFR, oxygen abundance, stellar mass and stellar population age. Fig. 2 presents the Baldwin, Phillips & Terlevich (BPT, Baldwin et al. 1981) diagram for our sample galaxies. The values of emission line fluxes ratio and parameters are presented from Table. 2 to Table. 5. The 2D maps of the properties for the host galaxies of 4 Type Ia, 5 Type II and 2 unclassified type of SNe are shown in Fig. 3, Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, respectively. The global values of parameters are estimated using all the useful spaxels of the host galaxies in the field of view of MaNGA. We take a circular region with 4 diameter around the host galaxies centers and the SNe positions to estimate the values of parameters at the central regions and SN locations, respectively. Here we should note that for SN 1999gw, which explodes in the merger system, the global values of the parameters are estimated using all useful spaxels of the system in the field of view of MaNGA.
4.1 BPT diagnostic diagram
When estimating the gas-phase oxygen abundance, AGNs should be excluded from calculating and analysis since the existence of AGNs somewhat bias the measurements. To distinguish AGNs contamination from star-forming regions in the center of galaxies, we adopt the BPT diagram, which can separate emission line galaxies from AGNs according to different excitation mechanism (Baldwin et al. 1981). Fig. 2 shows the BPT diagram of our sample. The horizontal axis is the value of log([N ] 6583/H) and the vertical axis represents the value of log([O ] 5007/H). The dashed line shows the boundary between AGNs and composite galaxies and it is taken from Kewley et al. (2001). The blue solid line separates composite galaxies from star-forming galaxies and it is taken from Kauffmann et al. (2003a). The air-corn circles, green stars and red triangles represent the positions of the global galaxy spectrum, the galaxy nuclei, and the supernovae locations, respectively. For every single sample galaxy, these three points are connected using dotted lines. The average standard deviation of log([N ] 6583/H) and log([O ] 5007/H) for the global SN host galaxies, central regions of SN host galaxies and SNe explosion sites are about 0.08 and 0.19, 0.02 and 0.09, 0.02 and 0.09 dex, respectively. The errorbars are marked in the left corner of the BPT diagram.
The values of emission line fluxes ratio of the global, central regions and SNe explosion regions are presented in Table. 2. According to Fig. 2 and Table. 2, the centers of the host galaxy of unclassified type of SN 1975K (NGC 6195) and the host galaxy of SN II 2000cs (MCG +07-34-015) are in the AGN regions. However, their global spectrum locate in the star-forming galaxies and composites regions. We can infer that for these two galaxies, the effect of AGNs is too small to change the global galaxy spectra (Stanishev et al. 2012). The difference of the emission line ratio in Fig. 2 between supernova location and global spectrum is a little larger for SNe 2006iq, 2007sw and 1975K. The global spectrum of the host galaxy of SN 2006iq (PGC 1380172) locates in the star forming region, while the supernova 2006iq locates in the composite region. For the other sample galaxies, the difference of the emission line ratio between local and global is small.
4.2 H velocity field
The H velocity distributions are displayed in the 2D maps. With the method of analysis of Krajnović et al. (2006), we can distinguish whether the galaxy is pure disk rotation or not, which is shown in Table. 1
For distant galaxies, a simple kinematic classification was developed based on the 3D kinematics and the morphology by Flores et al. (2006). Yang et al. (2008) and Hammer et al. (2017) summarized the differences between different classes. For rotating disks (RD), the velocity field presents an ordered gradient and the dynamical major axis is consistent with the morphological major axis. There is a single peak in the velocity dispersion () map, which locates close to the dynamical center. The features of the velocity field of perturbed rotations (PR) are similar with a RD, but there is no peak or the peak is apparently shifted away from the dynamical center in the map. For complex kinematics (CK), both the velocity field distribution and the map are irregular and not compatible with regular disk rotation. This classification is based on the large-scale structure of distant galaxies (Hammer et al. 2017). Therefore, we can roughly classify our host galaxies into RD, PR and CK as marked in Table. 1.
According to Fig. 3, the H velocity gradient of the host galaxies of all the four Type Ia SNe 2007sw (UGC 7228), 2006iq (PGC 1380172), 2007R (PGC 21767) and 2005cc (NGC 5383) are smooth without irregularities. There are some spaxels that have a higher in the host galaxies and they distribute in the outer regions of the field of view. We infer that this may be caused by the low signal-to-noise (S/N) for the spaxels in the outer region. Roughly, the host galaxies of all the SNe Ia only have one peak of and the peaks locate at the center of the host galaxies. Therefore, all the SNe Ia host galaxies here are almost RD. That is to say, in our 4 sample galaxies, SNe Ia explode in normal galaxies without turbulence.
According to Fig. 4, the H velocity gradient of the host galaxies of all the five Type II SNe have almost regular H velocity distribution. For SN 2004eb, there is more than one peak in the map of the host galaxy (NGC 6387), which indicates that the host galaxy of SN 2004eb (NGC 6387) is PR. It can also be shown from the images of MaNGA that NGC 6387 is in an interactive system. However, for the other four Type II SN host galaxies, there is only one peak in the map and the peak locates at the center of galaxies, which indicates that these host galaxies are RD. Since 4 out of 5 SNe II host galaxies in our sample are RD, and 1 as PR, which indicates that for our sample galaxies, SNe II tend to explode in normal galaxies or an interactive or merger system.
According to Fig. 5, the H velocity gradient of the host galaxy of unclassified type of SN 1975K (NGC 6195) is smooth without irregularities. The map has only one peak in the galaxy center. Therefore, according to the velocity field and the map, NGC 6195 is almost RD without turbulence. While for the host galaxy of SN 1999gw (UGC 4881), the H velocity distribution is irregular. From the maps of , the host galaxy of SN 1999gw (UGC 4881) has more than one peak, so there is turbulence in this galaxy. Therefore, according to the classification criteria in Yang et al. (2008), the kinematic type of UGC 4881 is CK, which can also be shown from the image of MaNGA that this galaxy is in merger system.
4.3 H flux, extinction, and star formation rate
We estimate star formation rate through H flux, which has been corrected for dust extinction. Here we classify our sample into three groups (galaxies that host SNe Ia, galaxies that host SNe II and galaxies that host unclassified type of supernovae) and analyze them below in three groups.
4.3.1 SN Ia
UGC 7228, PGC 1380172, PGC 21767 and NGC 5383 are host galaxies of Type Ia SN 2007sw, 2006iq, 2007R and 2005cc, respectively.
From Fig. 3, we can see that the flux of these four galaxies have the highest value in the center except for the host galaxy of SN 2005cc (NGC 5383). According to James et al. (2009), there is an obvious flux deficit in the center of late-type spirals(Sc+), but very different in Sa-type spirals that the flux increases towards the center. James et al. (2009) shows that the flux radial distribution of unbarred Sb spirals is similar to Sa spirals, but flux of barred Sb spirals is strong in the center, then it decreases before flux increases again. According to ASC and Dobrycheva (2013), the types of host galaxies of SN Ia 2007sw, 2006iq, 2007R and 2005cc belong to Sbc, SB, S0/a and SBb, respectively. The morphology of the host galaxies is consistent with the classification from the flux distribution of the images provided by MaNGA based on the classification method in James et al. (2009).
Table. 3 shows the global SFR of host galaxies in units of , the global sSFR of the host galaxies and the local sSFR at the SNe explosion sites in units of and gas extinction at SN position ( ) in units of .
As Stanishev et al. (2012) mentioned that in their sample galaxies, the extinction would increase with the flux, which was explained that extinction was expected to be observed in the star formation regions. From the 2D maps of our Fig. 3, we can see that the gas dust extinction distribution is not always the same as the trend of flux in our sample galaxies, especially for the host galaxy of SN 2005cc (NGC 5383). The extinction of the four Type Ia SNe positions are high up to about 1.84, which are given in Table. 3.
Compared with the global sSFR of Type Ia SN host galaxies, the local sSFR at the SNe explosion sites is similar or higher for SNe 2007sw, 2007R and 2005cc, which explode close to the center of the host galaxies. While for SN 2006iq, which explodes in the outer region of the galaxy center, the local sSFR at the SN explosion site is lower than the global sSFR of the host galaxy. Fig. 3 also gives the 2D maps of sSFR of SNe Ia host galaxies. From this figure, sSFR decreases towards outer regions for SNe 2007sw and 2006iq, while SNe 2007R and 2005cc have a lower sSFR in the center of the host galaxies than that in the outer region. Also, the figures and Table. 3 indicate that the supernovae positions are close to the highest sSFR region except for supernova 2006iq, which explodes at the outer region that has much lower sSFR than the global value.
4.3.2 SN II
From Fig. 4, the host galaxies of Type II SN 2000cs (MCG +07-34-015), 2010ee (UGC 8652), 2012al (PGC 213664) and 2004eb (NGC 6387) have the highest flux in the center in each galaxy, which indicate that these galaxies are unbarred Sb-type spiral galaxies. From the pseudo-color image of MaNGA, the host galaxy of 2004eb (NGC 6387) is in the process of merger, which will make effect on the SFR, oxygen abundance etc. The supernova 2004eb is on the edge of the field of view of this galaxy. The host galaxy of SN 2011cc (IC 4612) has a flux deficit in the center, and the supernova locates at the ring of the host galaxy.
From Fig. 4, we can see that the gas dust extinction distribution of Type II SN 2010ee host galaxy increases towards the center, which has the similar trend as the flux. However, according to the image and the inclination, the host of SN 2010ee is an edge-on galaxy, so it is difficult to estimate the extinction accurately. For the other four Type II SN host galaxies, the trend of dust extinction is not always the same as flux. The local dust extinctions of the five Type II SNe explosion sites are lower than those of SNe Ia.
Fig. 4 also shows the 2D maps of sSFR of the five Type II SN host galaxies. SNe 2000cs, 2004eb are on the edge of field of view of hosts and have lower sSFR at the SNe positions than those of global values of host galaxies, which are also shown in Table. 3. The sSFR at the SN position of SNe 2010ee, 2012al and 2011cc are almost the same as global value.
4.3.3 Unclassified type of supernovae
The local dust extinctions of these two SNe explosion sites are higher than those of SNe II, which can be shown in Table. 3. From the pseudo-color image of MaNGA and H flux 2D map, we can see that the host galaxy of SN 1999gw (UGC 4881) is in a merger system. The host galaxy of SN 1975K (NGC 6195) is a Sb-type spiral galaxy based on the morphology type in ASC, which also can be shown from MaNGA image.
Fig. 5 shows the 2D maps of the sSFR of these two unclassified type of SN host galaxies. According to Fig. 5, SN 1999gw explodes close to the region that has the highest H flux, but the H flux at the specific SN explosion site is much lower. There are double peaks of sSFR distribution in the host galaxy of SN 1999gw (UGC 4881) shown in Fig. 5, which is consistent with the morphology of the merger system. From Table. 3, the sSFR at the SN position of SN 1999gw is lower than the global value. The supernova 1975K locates in the region where H flux is lower than the center, but higher than the outer regions. From Table. 3, the sSFR at the SN position of SN 1975K is higher than the global value of the host galaxy NGC 6195. Fig. 5 shows that it has the highest value of sSFR in the spiral arm regions of galaxy and the sSFR of the central region of the galaxy is lower.
4.4 Gas phase oxygen abundances
Gas-phase oxygen abundance distributions estimated by O3N2 method of Pettini & Pagel (2004) in 2D maps are displayed from Fig. 3 to Fig. 5 for our sample galaxies. The global gas-phase oxygen abundance of the host galaxies and local value at SNe explosion sites estimated by O3N2, N2O2 and methods are displayed in Table. 4. According to the BPT diagram, the emission lines ratio of the centers of SNe 2000cs and 1975K host galaxies locate in the regions of AGNs. Even though the effect of AGNs is small, the central regions of these two host galaxies, MCG +07-34-015 and NGC 6195, which harbor AGNs in the center, are masked in the process of calculating oxygen abundance. The existence of AGNs will make bias on the global spectra and make deviation when estimating the gas-phase oxygen abundance. Also, emission lines with S/N less than 3 are masked to reduce computational errors.
4.4.1 SN Ia
Fig. 3 shows 2D maps of gas-phase oxygen abundance of 4 SNe Ia host galaxies. The oxygen abundance increases towards the center of the host galaxy of 2007sw (UGC 7228), which indicate an inside-outside formation of the galaxy. In the center, the metalliciy reaches the highest value and the supernova 2007sw locates close to the highest metallicity. The oxygen abundances decrease towards the central regions for the host galaxies of SN Ia 2006iq (PGC 1380172) and 2007R (PGC 21767), which means an outside-inside formation of the galaxies. The host galaxy of 2007R (PGC 21767) has been analyzed in Stanishev et al. (2012). Our result for this galaxy agree well with Stanishev et al. (2012). The host galaxy of 2005cc (NGC 5383) shows an irregular distribution of metallicity. There is a spindly region where presents apparently lower metallicity, which is believed to be where the spiral arm locates.
Table. 4 shows the metallicity estimated from the global galaxies spectra, central regions and the supernovae locations using O3N2, N2O2 and methods. From Table. 4, we can see that the local gas-phase oxygen abundance at the SN 2007sw explosion site is higher than the global value. For SN 2006iq, the local oxygen abundance is lower than the global value. The local oxygen abundance at the SN explosion sites of SNe 2007R and 2005cc are nearly the same as that of the global of their host galaxies.
4.4.2 SN II
For the 5 Type II SNe, Fig. 4 presents the 2D maps of gas-phase oxygen abundance. We can see from the 2D map of the host galaxy of 2000cs (MCG +07-34-015) that the center is masked due to the presence of AGNs, and the metallicity increase in outer regions. There are two peaks of gas-phase oxygen abundance in the host galaxy of 2010ee (UGC 8652), which may be in the spiral arms, but the center has lower metallicity. The gas phase oxygen abundances of host galaxies of SN 2012al (PGC 213664) and 2004eb (NGC 6387) increase towards the centers. SN 2011cc locates close to the region that has the highest metallicity. The metallicity of the host galaxy of SN 2011cc (IC 4612) increases from the center, and decreases after running up to the peaks. We suppose that the peaks are on the ring of the host galaxy.
Shown from Table. 4, the local oxygen abundance is almost the same as the global value estimated by O3N2, N2O2 and methods for SNe 2000cs, 2010ee, 2012al, 2011cc and 2004eb.
4.4.3 Unclassified type of supernovae
The host galaxy of SN 1999gw (UGC 4881) is in a merger system. The 2D map of the gas-phase oxygen abundance in this merger system is fanshaped. Fig. 5 shows that there are double peaks of gas-phase oxygen abundance, one is in the central regions of the field of view of MaNGA (UGC 4881 NED01, marked by plus), and the other locates at the right bottom of the field (UGC 4881 NED02, marked by star). The supernova 1999gw locates close to the peak. From Table. 4, the difference between local gas-phase oxygen abundance estimated by O3N2 method of SN 1999gw and the global value of host galaxy UGC 4881 is small. According to Fig. 5, the gas phase oxygen abundance of SN 1975K host galaxy decreases from outside towards central regions. From Table. 4, we can see that the local gas phase oxygen abundance of SN 1975K is a little higher than that of global value.
4.5 Stellar mass
In this work, we estimate the current stellar mass using STARLIGHT fits (Cid Fernandes et al. 2005). The global stellar mass of SN galaxies are shown in Table. 3. For comparison, we have also given the stellar mass taken from MaNGA Data Reduction Pipeline (DRP) catalogue (Law et al. 2016), and the total stellar mass of SN galaxies taken from MPA/JHU (Kauffmann et al. 2003b; Salim et al. 2007) in Table. 3. There is no stellar mass data for SN 2007sw host galaxy (UGC 7228) in MPA/JHU. The difference between these three stellar mass calculated using three different methods is very small except for the host galaxy of SN 2005cc (NGC 5383). The stellar mass of this galaxy is calculated by STARLIGHT, taken from DRP (Law et al. 2016) and taken from MPA/JHU. The Field of View of MaNGA bundles only cover the inside 1.5 Re or 2.5 Re of the galaxy, so we can not derive the whole galaxy mass based on the IFU data. The galaxy stellar mass given by DRP is based on the photometry data, which is calculated by using the photometry image of the whole galaxy and can hence provide us the mass of the whole galaxy. The masses from MPA/JHU are measured from a single fiber spectrum of the nucleus, scaled to the photometry of the whole galaxy, which may bias the final result because it assumes the same stellar populations and L/M along the galaxy. The lower mass of NGC 5383 from MPA/JHU may be mainly resulted from the wrong photometry.
Here we should note that the calculated stellar mass for SN 1999gw host galaxy is for the merger system, including the host galaxy UGC 4881 NED02 and UGC 4881 NED01.
4.6 Stellar age
We estimate stellar age using STARLIGHT fits. The 2D maps of light-weighted stellar age of the SN galaxies are presented from Fig. 3 to Fig. 5.
As Cid Fernandes et al. (2005) pointed out that it is very uncertain for the individual components of the stellar population vectors estimated by STARLIGHT. The scatter of the measurements estimated from every single pixel is too large to derive the authentic rules. The scatter increases with the galactocentric distance increases, which is caused by the low S/N in the outer region of the galaxy. Following Cid Fernandes et al. (2005), to provide a more robust description of the current stellar population of the galaxies, Stanishev et al. (2012) presented a roughly binned version of the stellar population vectors, which was three bins of stellar population vectors: young stellar population vector (ageL 300 Myr), intermediate stellar population vector (300 Myr ageL 2.4 Gyr), and old stellar population vector (ageL 2.4 Gyr).
We provide the mass-weighted and light-weighted stellar population ages of the global of host galaxies and the local SNe explosion sites, and the fractions of spaxels in the bins of young, intermediate and old stellar populations in Table 5. From Table 5, the light-weighted stellar population ages are lower than the mass-weighted ones. The light-weighted age has a higher weight for the younger stellar population. In our sample galaxies, the mean mass-weighted stellar population age is more than yr except for the host galaxy of Type II SN 2004eb (NGC 6387), whose mass-weighted stellar population age is ( 0.39) yr, which has a high (95.9%) fraction of young stellar populations. The scatter for the stellar population is too large to give an authentic conclusion and the sample size is insufficient, so we will not give a deep discuss for stellar age.
4.7 Dn(4000) &
Bruzual et al. (1983) defined Dn(4000) as the average flux density ratio of the two bands of 4050-4250 and 3750-3950 . Later the average flux density ratio of another two narrower bands, 4000-4100 and 3850-3950 , was defined as Dn(4000) by Balogh et al. (1999). The narrower definition has a significant point that this ratio is less sensitive to reddening effects. In galaxies which had experienced a star formation burst that ended about 0.1-1 Gyr ago, a strong absorption line arose. The peak occurs once hot O and B stars have terminated their evolution (Kauffmann et al. 2003a). A absorption line was defined using a central bandpass bracketed through two pseudo-continuum bandpasses by Worthey et al. (1997).
As Kauffmann et al. (2003a) pointed out that the depth of the 4000 break, Dn(4000), and the equivalent width of the line, , are significant sensitive indicators of stellar populations that have different ages. Fig. 6 presents the distribution of the global Dn(4000) and for our sample galaxies. The lines are taken from Kauffmann et al. (2003b), which present the relations between Dn(4000) and for pure burst star formation histories and for continuous star formation histories with different metallicity. Our sample galaxies distribute inside the region of Dn(4000) and plane for pure burst and continues star formation histories with different metallicity. From this figure, there is no significant difference of the global Dn(4000) and for different types of SN galaxies. Table 5 shows that SN 2004eb host galaxy has the lowest value of global Dn(4000) of 1.2 among our sample host galaxies, which is consistent with the result of stellar population age estimated using STARLIGHT that this galaxy has a larger fraction of young stellar population.
Here the Dn(4000) and of the SN host galaxies in this study are from Li et al. (2015). According to Li et al. (2015), the standard to classify galaxies into centrally quiescent and centrally star-forming is whether the Dn(4000) of the center of the galaxies is larger than 1.6 or not. Among all the 11 SN host galaxies, we can see from Table 5 that the central Dn(4000) of the host galaxies of SN 2007R (PGC 21767), 2000cs (MCG +07-34-015), 2010ee (UGC 8652) and 1975K (NGC 6195) are larger than 1.6, so these galaxies should belong to centrally quiescent.
5 Discussion
5.1 Compare our sample with other works
Compared with SN host galaxies in Galbany et al. (2016b) from CALIFA, our sample size of SN galaxies from MaNGA is much smaller (132/939 vs. 14/1390). To explore the reason for this, we compare the redshift distributions of these data base galaxies observed with CALIFA, MaNGA in SDSS DR13, and SN host galaxies obtained from the supernovae catalogue in Fig. 7. ASC provides redshift information only for 1460 distant galaxies with redshift greater than 0.1. SAI supernovae catalogue provides redshift information for 5790 galaxies, including 1442 galaxies which are also provided by ASC. Therefore, we apply the redshift from SAI supernovae catalogue for comparison here.
From Fig. 7, we can see that there is a peak of the redshift of SN galaxies locating at about 0.02 (SAI catalog). Most of the CALIFA DR3 galaxies redshifts range between 0 and 0.03 with a peak about 0.01. However, the redshifts of galaxies from MaNGA mainly range from 0 to 0.08 with peak about 0.03. Therefore, the main reason that our sample size of SN hosts is much smaller than the CALIFA data, is due to the different redshift ranges of the sample. MaNGA selects more distant galaxies, among which less ones could be observed SN explosion inside than the much local ones, such as the CALIFA galaxies.
Also, we check the effect of the diameter of the FoV on different numbers of SNe explored by CALIFA and MaNGA. The largest diameter of the IFU size of MaNGA is 32 and the FoV of CALIFA is 1.3 . We obtain 138 SNe by cross-correlating SNe in ASC with 939 galaxies in CALIFA and 23 SNe among 1390 galaxies in MaNGA with the same matching radius of 50 . Therefore, the smaller sample size of SN galaxies from MaNGA than that from CALIFA is not mainly caused by the smaller FoV of MaNGA.
5.2 Star formation rate
Fig. 8 shows the distribution of the global SFR and the stellar mass estimated using STARLIGHT code. From this figure, most of our sample galaxies locate within or close to the 68% confidence level of the locus of blue SDSS galaxies at in Elbaz et al. (2007) except for host galaxies of SN 2000cs, 2012al and 2004eb. The central region of host galaxy of SN 2000cs locates in the AGN region, which can be shown from Fig. 2. According to Table. 5, the light-weighted stellar age of SNe 2000cs and 2012al host galaxies are older than other galaxies in our sample. The host galaxy of SN 2012al is faint, which can be shown from the MaNGA image, and the flux is very low. Thus, for the host galaxies of SN 2000cs and 2012al, the SFR estimated from flux are much lower than normal SF galaxies. The host galaxy of SN 2004eb is in an interactive system, which could excite star forming activity and result in a higher SFR than normal galaxies.
5.3 Gas-phase oxygen abundance
Fig. 9 presents the local gas-phase oxygen abundance at the SNe explosion sites and the global gas-phase oxygen abundance of the host galaxies estimated using O3N2 method. From the figure, we can see that in our sample, SNe Ia tend to explode in galaxies which have higher gas-phase oxygen abundance than SNe II. The gas-phase oxygen abundance of unclassified SN host galaxies is similar with that of SN Ia host galaxies in our sample. The average local gas-phase oxygen of SNe Ia (12 + log(O/H) 8.76) in the sample host galaxies is also higher than those of SNe II (12 + log(O/H) 8.64). Most of our SN host galaxies are metallicity-richer ones with 12+log(O/H)8.5, except one, the host galaxy of 2004eb (NGC 6387), has lower oxygen abundance as 8.43.
The dashed lines in Fig. 9 represent the ratio between global and local gas-phase oxygen abundance of 1:1. This figure shows that most of the SN host galaxies locate near the diagonal line. There is a little difference between the local metallicity at the SNe explosion site and the global metallicity of the host galaxy.
5.4 The relation between stellar mass and gas-phase oxygen abundance
To compare our SN host galaxies with the SDSS main sample galaxies from Tremonti et al. (2004), we present the distributions of stellar mass described with nsa-mstar in the DRP catalogue, which could provide the stellar mass of the whole galaxy (see details in Sect. 4.5), and the global gas-phase oxygen abundance of the host galaxies estimated using method in Fig. 10.
In this figure, red dots, blue triangles and green stars represent SNe Ia, SNe II and unclassified SNe, respectively. The dashed line represents the polynomial fitting to the median value in bins of 0.1 dex in stellar mass from Tremonti et al. (2004). The dotted lines show the contours that enclose 68% and 95% of the data from Tremonti et al. (2004). According to Fig. 10, there is a positive relation between stellar mass and metallicity, which is consistent with Tremonti et al. (2004). Most of our sample galaxies locate in the region of 95% of the data of Tremonti et al. (2004) except for the host galaxy of unclassified type of SN 1999gw, which is in a merger system. The gas-phase oxygen abundance of peculiar Type Ia SN 2005cc host galaxy estimated using method is a little higher than those of other sample galaxies. This host galaxy also shows the highest gas-phase oxygen abundance estimated using O3N2 and N2O2 methods.
All the Type Ia SNe in our sample explode in the galaxies with the stellar mass higher than , which is consistent with Galbany et al. (2014). According to Sullivan et al. (2006), SNe Ia also explode in galaxies that have lower mass (than ). The fact that our sample galaxies lack of low-mass galaxies may be caused by the small sample size.
6 Conclusion
In this paper, we analyze the local properties of explosion sites of 11 supernovae and global properties of their host galaxies using IFS of MaNGA.
There are some significant advantages in our work. Compared with multicolor broad-band imaging or integrated spectroscopy, we could derive the 2D maps of parameters for SN galaxies using the spatially resolved spectroscopy of MaNGA to compare the local properties at the SNe explosion sites and the global properties of the SN galaxies. What’s more, the higher redshift distribution up to median as 0.03 allows us to obtain sample and information about more distant galaxies which host different types of SNe. Thanks to the 2D maps of MaNGA observations, we can analyze these SN host galaxies one by one in much details including their velocity, sSFR, gas-phase oxygen abundance and stellar population age etc. for a sample of 11 sample galaxies. The results are concluded as follows.
With the little differences between local metallicity at the SNe explosion sites and that of global galaxy, the metallicity estimated from integrated spectra can represent the local metallicity at SNe explosion sites with small bias, which is in consistent with Galbany et al. (2016b). Here global refers to the whole area inside the field of view of MaNGA, which cover more than 1.5 or 2.5 of the galaxies. For our sample, SNe tend to explode in rich-metallicity galaxies.
From the velocity field and velocity dispersion map, we can conclude that both SNe Ia and SNe II in our sample could explode in normal galaxies. SNe II also could explode in an interactive or merger system, which have recent star formation. For our sample galaxies, the global and local gas-phase oxygen abundance of SN Ia host galaxies are a little higher than those of SN II host galaxies. On average, the stellar mass of SN Ia host galaxies in our sample is a little higher than that of SN II host galaxies. SN Ia in our sample could explode in more massive galaxies, while SNe II can explode in both high mass and low mass galaxies. More sample galaxies with lower masses are needed for more information.
The MaNGA survey will provide a larger sample of SN galaxies, which could provide us statistical conclusion of the differences of the explosion environment between different types of SNe will be obtained in the following work.
