The implications of large binding energies of massive stripped core collapse supernova progenitors on the explosion mechanism

Abstract

We examine the binding energies of massive stripped-envelope core collapse supernova (SECCSN) progenitors with the stellar evolution code MESA, and find that the jittering jets explosion mechanism is preferred for explosions where carbon-oxygen cores with masses of $>20M_{\odot }$ collapse to leave a neutron star (NS) remnant. We calculate the binding energy at core collapse under the assumption that the remnant is a NS. Namely, stellar gas above mass coordinate of $1.5-2.5M_{\odot }$ is ejected in the explosion. We find that the typical binding energy of the ejecta of stripped-envelope progenitors with carbon-oxygen core masses of $M_{CO}>20M_{\odot }$ is $E_{bind}>2\times 10^{51}erg$. We claim that jets are most likely to explode such cores as jet-driven explosion mechanisms can supply high energies to the explosion. We apply our results to SN 2020qlb, which is a SECCSN with a claimed core mass of $30-50M_{\odot }$, and conclude that the jittering jets explosion mechanism best accounts for such an explosion that leaves a NS.
