Dust Models for the Extinction of Type IIn Supernova SN 2010jl
arXiv:2201.09298 · doi:10.1093/mnras/stac220
Abstract
The unusual extinction curves of SN 2010jl provide an excellent opportunity to investigate the properties of dust formed by core-collapse supernovae. By using a series of dust models with different compositions and grain size distributions, we fit the extinction curves of SN 2010jl and find that a silicate-graphite mixture dust model characterized by exponentially cutoff power-law size distributions can well reproduce its unusual extinction curves. The best-fit results show that the extinctions derived from the dust models are consistent with the observed values at all epochs. However, the total-to-selective extinction ratio is about 2.8 - 3.1, which is significantly smaller than the value of derived by Gall et al. The best-fit models indicate that the dust grains around SN 2010jl are possibly composed of small-size astronomical silicate grains and micron-size graphite grains. In addition, by fitting the optical to mid-infrared spectral energy distribution, we find that the dust mass around SN 2010jl increases with time, up to around 1300 days after peak brightness, which is consistent with previous estimates.
