Subluminous Type IIP SN 2024abfl as a Result of a Significantly Low-energy Fe-core Collapse
arXiv:2605.29363 · doi:10.3847/1538-4357/ae75dd
Abstract
We present extensive, well-sampled multiwavelength photometric and low-resolution optical spectroscopic observations of the low-luminosity Type IIP supernova SN 2024abfl. SN 2024abfl is found to be at the faintest end of Type IIP supernovae with unprecedented flat (0.1 mag/ 100 day) plateau evolution and a mid-plateau absolute magnitude of Mv~-13.8 mag, placing it among one of the faintest Type IIP supernovae discovered to date. SN 2024abfl is adjacent to SN 2018zd in the same host NGC~2146. Using various SN distance measurement probes, we provide independent estimates of the debated distance to the host NGC 2146 (7-9 Mpc). Spectral evolution of SN 2024abfl is found to be similar to other SNe spectra of this subclass but with very narrow line profiles, indicating moderately low expansion velocities of the ejecta. Detailed 1-D hydrodynamical modeling suggests a compact progenitor with an upper limit of 10 Msun, fairly consistent with the directly detected progenitor estimates. It exploded with very low-energy 0.05 foe or less with a very low nickel mass of 0.003 Msun, consistent with the observed parameters. These parameters provide important constraints on the nature of low-energy core-collapse explosions. We discuss possible progenitor scenarios and compare SN 2024abfl with other low-luminosity Type IIP supernovae.
