We study 34 Type Ic supernovae that have broad spectral features (SNe Ic-BL). This is the only SN type found in association with long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). We obtained our photometric data with the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) and its continuation, the intermediate PTF (iPTF). This is the first large, homogeneous sample of SNe Ic-BL from an untargeted survey. Furthermore, given the high observational cadence of iPTF, most of these SNe Ic-BL were discovered soon after explosion. We present K-corrected Bgriz light curves of these SNe, obtained through photometry on template-subtracted images. We analyzed the shape of the r-band light curves, finding a correlation between the decline parameter Δm15 and the rise parameter Δm−10. We studied the SN colors and, based on g − r, we estimated the host-galaxy extinction for each event. Peak r-band absolute magnitudes have an average of −18.6 ± 0.5 mag. We fit each r-band light curve with that of SN 1998bw (scaled and stretched) to derive the explosion epochs. We computed the bolometric light curves using bolometric corrections, r-band data, and g − r colors. Expansion velocities from Fe II were obtained by fitting spectral templates of SNe Ic. Bolometric light curves and velocities at peak were fitted using the semianalytic Arnett model to estimate ejecta mass Mej, explosion energy EK and 56Ni mass M(56Ni) for each SN. We find average values of Mej = 4 ± 3 M⊙, EK = (7 ± 6)×1051 erg, and M(56Ni)=0.31  ±  0.16 M⊙. The parameter distributions were compared to those presented in the literature and are overall in agreement with them. We also estimated the degree of 56Ni mixing using scaling relations derived from hydrodynamical models and we find that all the SNe are strongly mixed. The derived explosion parameters imply that at least 21% of the progenitors of SNe Ic-BL are compatible with massive (> 28 M⊙), possibly single stars, whereas at least 64% might come from less massive stars in close binary systems.

Massive Close Binary

The evolution of massive stars in close binary systems is significantly different from single star evolution due to a series of interactions between the two stellar components. Such massive close binary systems are linked to various astrophysical phenomena, for example Wolf-Rayet stars, supernova type Ib and Ic, X-ray binaries and gamma-ray bursts. Also, the emission of gravitational waves, recently observed by the LIGO-Virgo detectors, is associated with mergers in binary systems containing compact objects, relics of massive stars - black holes and neutron stars. Evolutionary calculations of massive close binary systems were performed by various authors, but many aspects are not yet fully understood. In this paper, the main concepts of massive close binary evolution are reviewed, together with the most important parameters that can influence the final outcome of the binary system evolution, such as rotation, magnetic fields, stellar wind mass loss and mass accretion efficiency during interactions. An extensive literature overview of massive close binary models in the light of exciting observations connected with those systems is presented.

Quantitative Estimates

It is necessary to have quantitative estimates of the intensity of lines (both absorption and emission) to obtain the physical parameters of the atmosphere of components.Some years ago at the Crimean observatory we began the spectroscopic investigation of close binary systems of the early spectral type with components WR, Of, O, B to try and obtain more quantitative information from the study of the spectra of the components.

The Earth

Propagation of the surface waves of the lobe-filing components of close binary systems is investigated theoretically. Such waves are considered to be analogous to the gravity waves of water on the earth. As a result, the equations of the surface wave in the rotating frame of reference are reduced to the so-called Kortewegde Vries (KdV) equation and non-linear Schroedinger (NLS) equation according to its ”depth”. Each of these equations is known to have the solution of soliton. When this soliton is sent to the other component of the binary system through the Lagrangian point, it can give rise to the flare activity observed in some kinds of close binary systems.

Galactic Sources

The discovery by Giacconi and his colleagues of variable X-ray sources in close binary systems certainly ranks as one of the highlights of astronomical research during the last 3 years. These remarkable objects have already been extensively studied, by optical and radio observations as well as in the X-ray band; and they seem likely to prove as significant and far-reaching in their implications as pulsars.The ‘Third Uhuru Catalogue’ (Giacconi et al., 1973a) contains about 160 sources, of which about 100 lie in our Galaxy. Their distribution over the sky (together with other arguments) suggests that these sources have luminosities of the general order 1036–1038 erg s−1, and that their typical distances are ˜ 10kpc. These galactic sources generally display rapid variability. Little else is known about most of them, but they are probably of the same general class as systems such as Her X1, Cen X3, Cyg X1 and Cyg X3. These sources have been investigated in detail, and in all cases one infers a system where the X-ray source is orbiting around a relatively ordinary star. Six sources have been optically identified, and there are some others whose binary nature is established by the occurrence of an X-ray eclipse. Orbital periods range from 4.8 h (Cyg X3) up to ˜ 10 days.
