Spectroscopy of the Type Ic Supernova SN,2017iuk Associated with Low-redshift GRB,171205A


Abstract in English

We here report a spectroscopic monitor for the supernova SN,2017iuk associated with the long-duration low-luminosity gamma-ray burst GRB,171205A at a redshift of 0.037, which is up to now the third GRB-SN event away from us. Our spectroscopic observations and spectral analysis allow us to identify SN,2017iuk as a typical broad-line type Ic SN. A comparison study suggests that the type-IcBL SN,2017iuk resembles to SN,2006aj in following aspects: 1) similar spectra at the nearby epochs, 2) comparable evolution of the photospheric velocity obtained from the measurements based on both ion{Si}{2}$lambda$6355 line and spectral modeling, and 3) comparable explosion parameters. This analogy could imply a formation of a neutron star in the core-collapse of GRB,171205A/SN,2017iuk as previously suggested in GRB,060218/SN,2006aj. The properties of the host galaxy is discussed, which suggests that GRB,171205A/SN,2017iuk occurred in an early type (S0), high-mass, starforming galaxy with low specific SFR and solar metallicity.
