AimsAT 2018hso 是一种新的瞬变,显示出 LRNe 和类似于 SN 2008S 的中间光度红色瞬变 (ILRT) 类之间的过渡特性。通过对观测参数的详细分析,我们的研究支持它实际上属于LRN类,并且很可能是由两颗大质量恒星合并产生的。方法我们获得了AT~2018hso 10个月的光学和近红外光度监测,以及11个历元的低分辨率光谱。我们将其观察到的特性与其他 ILRT 和 LRNe 的特性进行了比较。我们还检查了大约 15 年前获得的哈勃太空望远镜 (HST) 档案图像,以限制前身的特性。结果 AT 2018hso 的光变曲线显示出第一个尖锐的峰值 (Mr = -13.93 mag),随后是更宽、更浅的第二个峰值,类似于光带中的平台。光谱随时间发生显着变化。早期光谱显示突出的巴尔默发射线和弱的 Ca II] 双峰,这通常在 ILRT 中观察到。然而,连续温度的大幅下降、窄金属吸收线的出现、强度和轮廓的重大变化以及分子带的出现支持 LRN 分类。在 HST 档案图像中的 AT 2018hso 位置可能检测到 I ~ -8 mag 源,这与合并前的大规模二进制文件的预期一致,类似于 M101 中 2015 LRN 的前身。结论我们提供了合理的论据来支持 AT~2018hso 的 LRN 分类。这项研究揭示了 LRNe 观测值的异质性比过去想象的越来越大,这使得 LRNe 和 ILRT 之间的区分有时变得棘手。这表明需要监测间隙瞬变的整个演变以避免错误分类。
AimsAT 2018hso is a new transient showing transitional properties between those of LRNe and the class of intermediate luminosity red transients (ILRTs) similar to SN 2008S. Through the detailed analysis of the observed parameters, our study support that it actually belongs to the LRN class, and was likely produced by the coalescence of two massive stars.MethodsWe obtained ten months of optical and near-infrared photometric monitoring, and eleven epochs of low-resolution optical spectroscopy of AT~2018hso. We compared its observed properties with those of other ILRTs and LRNe. We also inspected the archival Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images obtained about 15 years ago to constrain the progenitor's properties.ResultsThe light curves of AT 2018hso show a first sharp peak (Mr = -13.93 mag), followed by a broader and shallower second peak, that resembles a plateau in the optical bands. The spectra dramatically change with time. Early time spectra show prominent Balmer emission lines and a weak Ca II] doublet, which is usually observed in ILRTs. However, the major decrease in the continuum temperature, the appearance of narrow metal absorption lines, the major change in the Hstrength and profile, and the emergence of molecular bands support a LRN classification. The possible detection of an I ~ -8 mag source at the position of AT 2018hso in HST archive images is consistent with expectations for a pre-merger massive binary, similar to the precursor of the 2015 LRN in M101.ConclusionsWe provide reasonable arguments to support a LRN classification for AT~2018hso. This study reveals growing heterogeneity in the observables of LRNe than thought in the past, making sometimes tricky the discrimination between LRNe and ILRTs. This suggests the need of monitoring the entire evolution of gap transients to avoid misclassifications.
