53° CONGRESSO SAIT PISA, 4 - 8 MAGGIO 2009 SN 2008ha and SN 2008S: is there a role for the super-asymptotic giant branch stars? M.L. Pumo INAF - Osservatorio Astronomico di Padova & INAF – Osservatorio Astrofisico di Catania In collaboration with: M. Turatto, S. Benetti, M.T. Botticella, E. Cappellaro, A. Pastorello, S. Valenti, L. Zampieri

Uncertainties (e.g. Woosley et al. 2002; Heger et al. 2003; Turatto et al. 2007; Smartt et al. 2008) • Theoretical: uncertainties in modelling stellar evolution and explosion mechanism • Observational: “sparse” direct detections of progenitor stars and non-fully reliable classification of the SN events Nature of the CC-SNe progenitors (i.e. initial mass; stellar structure and composition at the explosion; kind of collapse: iron-CC or not) having the required properties to reproduce the different observational features

Preliminary results SN2008ha: super-AGB with Mini~ MN SN2008S: super-AGB with Minislightly larger (~ 0.6M⊙) SN2008ha: progenitor with Mini = MN SN2008S: progenitor with Mini = MN+ 0.6M⊙
SN2008S and SN2008ha: ec-SNe from super-AGBs, without resorting to “exotic” scenarios Other transients (NGC300 OT2008-1; M85 OT2006-1) and “faint” SNe (SN2007J; II-P SNe) Comments • Theoretical:existence of ec-SNe from super-AGBs confirmed in more refined future studies • Observational:information deduced from observations not substantially changed by new observational data Other observations are necessary to confirm our hypothesis!
