Hypernova Signatures in the Late Rebrightening of GRB 050525A
arXiv:astro-ph/0604109 · doi:10.1086/504636
Abstract
We report observations of GRB 050525A, for which a Gemini North spectrum shows its redshift to be z = 0.606. This is the third closest long GRB discovered by Swift. We observed its afterglow using the VLT, Gemini and TNG telescopes to search for an associated SN. We find that the early-time light curve is described by a broken power law with a break at t ~ 0.3 d after the burst. About 5 d after the burst, a flattening is apparent, followed by a further dimming. Both the magnitude and the shape of the light curve suggest that a supernova was emerging during the late decay of the afterglow. This supernova, dubbed SN 2005nc, had a rise time faster than SN 1998bw and a long-lasting maximum. A spectrum obtained about 20 d (rest-frame) after the GRB resembles the spectrum of SN 1998bw obtained close to maximum light.
