ABSTRACT We calculate the neutrino signal from Population III supermassive star (SMS) collapse using a neutrino transfer code originally developed for core-collapse supernovae and massive star collapse. Using this code, we are able to investigate the SMS mass range thought to undergo neutrino trapping (∼104 M⊙), a mass range which has been neglected by previous works because of the difficulty of neutrino transfer. For models in this mass range, we observe a neutrino sphere with a large radius and low density compared to typical massive star neutrino spheres. We calculate the neutrino light curve emitted from this neutrino sphere. The resulting neutrino luminosity is significantly lower than the results of a previous analytical model. We briefly discuss the possibility of detecting a neutrino burst from an SMS or the neutrino background from many SMSs and conclude that the former is unlikely with current technology, unless the SMS collapse is located as close as 1 Mpc, while the latter is also unlikely even under very generous assumptions. However, the SMS neutrino background is still of interest as it may serve as a source of noise in proposed dark matter direct detection experiments.

AbstractType Ic supernova (SN Ic) is the gravitational collapse of a massive star without H and He layers. It propels several solar masses of material to the typical velocity of 10,000 km/s, a very small fraction of the ejecta nearly to the speed of light. We investigate SNe Ic as production sites for the light elements Li, Be, and B, via the neutrino-process and spallations. As massive stars collapse, neutrinos are emitted in large numbers from the central remnants. Some of the neutrinos interact with nuclei in the exploding materials and mainly 7Li and 11B are produced. Subsequently, the ejected materials with very high energy impinge on the interstellar/circumstellar matter and spall into light elements. We find that the ν-process in the current SN Ic model produces a significant amount of 11B, consistent with observations if combined with B isotopes from the following spallation production.

AbstractLinking core-collapse SNe to their stellar progenitors is a major ongoing challenge. To date, H rich Type IIP SNe have been shown to come from red supergiants, while there is increasing evidence that the majority of stripped envelope SNe come from binary systems. The first candidates for failed SNe, where a massive star collapses to form a black hole without a bright optical display have been identified, while the range of outbursts and eruptions from pre-SN stars are just beginning to be revealed.

ABSTRACT The binary fraction of a stellar population can have pronounced effects on its properties, and, in particular, the number counts of different massive star types, and the relative subtype rates of the supernovae (SNe) that end their lives. Here we use binary population synthesis models with a binary fraction that varies with initial mass to test the effects on resolved stellar pops and SNe, and ask whether these can constrain the poorly-known binary fraction in different mass and metallicity regimes. We show that Wolf–Rayet (WR) star subtype ratios are valuable binary diagnostics, but require large samples to distinguish by models. Uncertainties in which stellar models would be spectroscopically classified as WR stars are explored. The ratio of thermonuclear, stripped-envelope, and other core-collapse SNe may prove a more accessible test and upcoming surveys will be sufficient to constrain both the high- and low-mass binary fraction in the z < 1 galaxy population.

AbstractThe properties of the Supernovae discovered in coincidence with long-duration Gamma-ray Bursts and X-Ray Flashes are reviewed, and compared to those of SNe for which GRBs are not observed. The SNe associated with GRBs are of Type Ic, they are brighter than the norm, and show very broad absorption lines in their spectra, indicative of high expansion velocities and hence of large explosion kinetic energies. This points to a massive star origin, and to the birth of a black hole at the time of core collapse. There is strong evidence for gross asymmetries in the SN ejecta. The observational evidence seems to suggest that GRB/SNe are more massive and energetic than XRF/SNe, and come from more massive stars. While for GRB/SNe the collapsar model is favoured, XRF/SNe may host magnetars.

There is strong evidence that long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are produced during the collapse of a massive star. In the standard version of the collapsar model, a broad-lined and luminous Type Ic core-collapse supernova (SN) accompanies the GRB. This association has been confirmed in observations of several nearby GRBs. Recent observations show that some long-duration GRBs are different. No SN emission accompanied the long-duration GRBs 060505 and 060614 down to limits fainter than any known Type Ic SN and hundreds of times fainter than the archetypal SN 1998bw that accompanied GRB 980425. Multi-band observations of the early afterglows, as well as spectroscopy of the host galaxies, exclude the possibility of significant dust obscuration. Furthermore, the bursts originated in star-forming galaxies, and in the case of GRB 060505, the burst was localized to a compact star-forming knot in a spiral arm of its host galaxy. We find that the properties of the host galaxies, the long duration of the bursts and, in the case of GRB 060505, the location of the burst within its host, all imply a massive stellar origin. The absence of an SN to such deep limits therefore suggests a new phenomenological type of massive stellar death.

Abstract Radioactive nuclei were present in the early solar system (ESS), as inferred from analysis of meteorites. Many are produced in massive stars, either during their lives or their final explosions. In the first paper of this series (Brinkman et al. 2019), we focused on the production of 26Al in massive binaries. Here, we focus on the production of another two short-lived radioactive nuclei, 36Cl and 41Ca, and the comparison to the ESS data. We used the MESA stellar evolution code with an extended nuclear network and computed massive (10–80 M ⊙), rotating (with initial velocities of 150 and 300 km s−1) and nonrotating single stars at solar metallicity (Z = 0.014) up to the onset of core collapse. We present the wind yields for the radioactive isotopes 26Al, 36Cl, and 41Ca, and the stable isotopes 19F and 22Ne. In relation to the stable isotopes, we find that only the most massive models, ≥60 and ≥40 M ⊙ give positive 19F and 22Ne yields, respectively, depending on the initial rotation rate. In relation to the radioactive isotopes, we find that the ESS abundances of 26Al and 41Ca can be matched with by models with initial masses ≥40 M ⊙, while 36Cl is matched only by our most massive models, ≥60 M ⊙. 60Fe is not significantly produced by any wind model, as required by the observations. Therefore, massive star winds are a favored candidate for the origin of the very short-lived 26Al, 36Cl, and 41Ca in the ESS.
