Inferring supernova IIb/Ib/Ic ejecta properties from light curves and spectra: Correlations from radiative-transfer models

Abstract

We present 1-D non-Local-Thermodynamic-Equilibrium time-dependent radiative-transfer simulations for a large grid of supernovae (SNe) IIb/Ib/Ic that result from the terminal explosion of the mass donor in a close-binary system. Our sample covers ejecta masses $M_{\mathrm{e}}$ of 1.7$-$5.2M${}_{\odot }$, kinetic energies $E_{\mathrm{kin}}$ of 0.6$-$5.0$\times$10${}^{51}$erg, and ${}^{56}$Ni masses of 0.05$-$0.30M${}_{\odot }$. We find a strong correlation between the ${}^{56}$Ni mass and the photometric properties at maximum, and between the rise time to bolometric maximum and the post-maximum decline rate. We confirm the small scatter in ($V-R$) at 10d past $R$-band maximum. The quantity $V_{\mathrm{m}}\equiv \sqrt{2E_{\mathrm{kin}}/M_{\mathrm{e}}}$ is comparable to the Doppler velocity measured from HeI 5875Å at maximum in SNe IIb/Ib, although some scatter arises from the uncertain level of chemical mixing. The OI7772Å line may be used for SNe Ic, but the correspondence deteriorates with higher ejecta mass/energy. We identify a temporal reversal of the Doppler velocity at maximum absorption in the $\sim$1.05$\mu$m feature in all models. The reversal is due to HeI alone and could serve as a test for the presence of helium in SNe Ic. Because of variations in composition and ionisation, the ejecta opacity shows substantial variations with both velocity and time. This is in part the origin of the offset between our model light curves and the predictions from the Arnett model.
