Possibility of Systematic Study of Supernova Explosions by Nuclear Imaging Spectroscopy
arXiv:1610.06843 · doi:10.7566/JPSCP.14.020607
Abstract
An all-sky monitor with nuclear imaging spectroscopy is a promising tool for the systematic study of supernova explosions. In particular, progenitor scenarios of type-Ia supernovae, which are not yet well understood, can be resolved using light curves in the nuclear gamma-ray band. Here we report an expected result of an all-sky monitor with imaging spectroscopy using electron-tracking Compton camera, which will enable us to observe nuclear gamma-ray lines from type-Ia supernovae.
