Setting the Stage for Circumstellar Interaction in Core-Collapse Supernovae II: Wave-Driven Mass Loss in Supernova Progenitors

Abstract

Supernovae (SNe) powered by interaction with circumstellar material provide evidence for intense stellar mass loss during the final years leading up to core collapse. We have argued that during and after core neon burning, internal gravity waves excited by core convection can tap into the core fusion power and transport a super-Eddington energy flux out to the stellar envelope, potentially unbinding up to ~ 1 solar mass of material. In this work, we explore the internal conditions of SN progenitors using the MESA 1-D stellar evolution code, in search of those most susceptible to wave-driven mass loss. We focus on simple, order of magnitude considerations applicable to a wide range of progenitors. Wave-driven mass loss during core neon and oxygen fusion happens preferentially in either lower mass (<~ 20 solar mass ZAMS) stars or massive, sub-solar metallicity stars. Roughly 20 per cent of the SN progenitors we survey can excite ~ 10^46 - 10^48 erg of energy in waves that can potentially drive mass loss within a few months to a decade of core collapse. This energy can generate a circumstellar environment with 10^-3 - 1 solar mass reaching ~ 100 AU before explosion. We predict a correlation between the energy associated with pre-SN mass ejection and the time to core collapse, with the most intense mass loss preferentially happening closer to core collapse. During silicon burning, a ~ 5 day long phase for our progenitor models, wave energy may inflate ~ 10^-3 - 1 solar mass of the stellar envelope to ~ 10 - 100s of solar radii. This suggests that some nominally compact SN progenitors (Type Ibc progenitors) will have a significantly different SN shock breakout signature than traditionally assumed. We discuss the implications of our results for the core-collapse SN mechanism, Type IIn SNe, Type IIb SNe from extended progenitors (e.g., SNe 1993j and 2011dh), and observed pre-SN outbursts.
