Nobel prize in physics 2011

Actually, neither acceleration, nor the

expansion itself of the Universe are

directly observable!

This is hard because decades of accurate

observations are ∼ 10−9 the age of the

Universe. Accuracy of observations for

distances and angles in large scale is

much much worse.

What is measured: distance and redshift

Photometric distance:

d2ph =

L(emitted, ergs/s)

4πF (observed, ergs/s/cm2)

Dependence on redshift z

dph(z)(Ωm,ΩDE, w(z))|theory

is determined by cosmology.Comparison with

dph(z)(observed)

allows one to find Ωm,ΩDE, w(z), etc.There are models without expansion producing similar relations, e.g. Wetterich,

Expanding photosphere method (EPM)

Expanding Photosphere Method (EPM)

Cf. Baade(1926)-Wesselink(1946) method for Cepheids .Measuring color and flux at two different times, t1 and t2,one finds the ratio of the star’s radii, R2/R1 (or frominterferometry).Using weak lines which are believed to be formed near thephotosphere one can measure the photospheric speed vph.

Then∫

t2

t1vphdt would give ∆Rph = R2 − R1.

Knowing R2/R1 and R2 − R1, it is easy to solve for theradii. The ratio of fluxes gives

D2

R2=

Fν(emitted)

Fν(observed),

hence the distance D.

Problems with BW

But this idea does not work for supernovae

(as a rule)!

Velocity of matter at the photosphere vph is

not at all Rph ≡ dRph/dt.

Velocity vph and Rph may even haveopposite signs!

Page 15: Models of SNe IIn for cosmology: problems to solve · Models of SNe IIn for cosmology: problems to solve ... photosphere one can measure the photospheric speed v ph. ... Sep. 10 ApJ,

Kirshner & Kwan, 1974

The main idea of EPM for SNe is different from BW!(Kirshner & Kwan were the first to point this out.)

Using weak lines one can measure the

matter velocity on photospheric level, vph,

and then one finds,

Rph = vpht .

This is based on the assumption of free expansion,

v = r/t ∝ r ,

– like a Hubble law. Velocity is not assumed to be dRph/dt.

Distance from EPM

Now the distance D to the supernova is

D = Rph

Fν(model)

Fν(observed)

if a reliable model flux Fν(model) at the

SN photosphere is compared with the

detected flux Fν(observed).

New DSM for SNe IIn

Measure narrow line components to estimate theproperties of CS envelope (may be done crudely).

Measure wide line components to find the photosphericspeed vph (as accurately as possible).

Build a best fitting model for broad band photometryand the speed vph.

New DSM for SNe IIn

Although the “Hubble”-law v = r/t is not applicable,vph now measures true velocity of the photospheric

radius (not only the matter flow speed, as in type II-P).

Now the original Baade’s idea works for measuring theradius by integrating vph (of course, with due account

of scattering, limb darkening/brightnening etc in atime-dependent spectral modeling of emerging light).This must be used when iterating the best fitting model.

The observed flux then gives the distance.

Conclusions

EPM is based not on Baade-Wesselink, but onKirshner-Kwan (KK) idea

Radiating shocks are most probable sources of light inmost luminous supernovae of type IIn like SN2006gy

Most luminous SN IIn events may be observed at high z[for years due to (1 + z)] and may be useful as direct,primary, distance indicators in cosmology

The new DSM is based on original Baade idea whichreally works now

The shock model requires NLTE and multi-Ddevelopment

Accurate observations of spectra must be usedtogether with detailed models to extract velocities
