Detection of a light echo from SN1998bu
arXiv:astro-ph/0101342 · doi:10.1086/319178
Abstract
About 500d after explosion the light curve of the Type Ia SN1998bu suddenly flattened and at the same time the spectrum changed from the typical nebular emission to a blue continuum with broad absorption and emission features reminiscent of the SN spectrum at early phases. We show that in analogy to SN1991Tbu (Schmidt et al. 1994), this can be explained by the emergence of a light echo from a foreground dust cloud. Based on a simple model we argue that the amount of dust required can consistently explain the extinction which has been estimated by completely independent methods. Because of the similar echo luminosity but much higher optical depth of the dust in SN1998bu compared with SN1991T, we expect that the echo ring size of SN1998bu grows faster than in SN1991T. HST observations have indeed confirmed this prediction.
