The death of massive stars produces a variety of supernovae, which are linked to the structure of the exploding stars. The detection of several precursor stars of Type II supernovae have been reported, however we do not yet have direct information on the progenitors of the hydrogen deficient Type Ib and Ic supernovae. Here we report that the peculiar Type Ib supernova SN2006jc is spatially coincident with a bright optical transient that occurred in 2004. Spectroscopic and photometric monitoring of the supernova leads us to suggest that the progenitor was a carbon-oxygen Wolf-Rayet star embedded within a helium-rich circumstellar medium. There are different possible explanations for this pre-explosion transient. It appears similar to the giant outbursts of Luminous Blue Variables (LBV) of 60-100 solar mass stars, however the progenitor of SN2006jc was helium and hydrogen deficient. An LBV-like outburst of a Wolf-Rayet star could be invoked, but this would be the first observational evidence of such a phenomenon. Alternatively a massive binary system composed of an LBV which erupted in 2004, and a Wolf-Rayet star exploding as SN2006jc, could explain the observations.

We perform two- (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamics simulations of convective oxygen shell-burning that takes place deep inside a massive progenitor star of a core-collapse supernova. Using one dimensional (1D) stellar evolution code, we fi
rst calculate the evolution of massive stars with an initial mass of 9-40 $M_odot$. Four different overshoot parameters are applied, and CO core mass trend similar to previous works is obtained in the 1D models. Selecting eleven 1D models that have a silicon and oxygen coexisting layer, we perform 2D hydrodynamics simulations of the evolution $sim$100 s until the onset of core-collapse. We find that convection with large-scale eddies and the turbulent Mach number $sim$0.1 is obtained in the models having a Si/O layer with a scale of 10$^8$ cm, whereas most models that have an extended O/Si layer up to a few $times 10^9$ cm exhibit lower turbulent velocity. Our results indicate that the supernova progenitors that possess a thick Si/O layer could provide a preferable condition for perturbation-aided explosions. We perform 3D simulation of a 25 $M_odot$ model, which exhibits large-scale convection in the 2D models. The 3D model develops large ($ell = 2$) convection similar to the 2D model, however, the turbulent velocity is lower. By estimating the neutrino emission properties of the 3D model, we point out that a time modulation of the event rates, if observed in KamLAND and Hyper-Kamiokande, would provide an important information about structural changes in the presupernova convective layer.
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been phenomenologically classified into long and short populations based on the observed bimodal distribution of duration. Multi-wavelength and multi-messenger observations in recent years have revealed that in general lo
ng GRBs originate from massive star core collapse events, whereas short GRBs originate from binary neutron star mergers. It has been known that the duration criterion is sometimes unreliable, and multi-wavelength criteria are needed to identify the physical origin of a particular GRB. Some apparently long GRBs have been suggested to have a neutron star merger origin, whereas some apparently short GRBs have been attributed to genuinely long GRBs whose short, bright emission is slightly above the detectors sensitivity threshold. Here we report the comprehensive analysis of the multi-wavelength data of a bright short GRB 200826A. Characterized by a sharp pulse, this burst shows a duration of 1 second and no evidence of an underlying longer-duration event. Its other observational properties such as its spectral behaviors, total energy, and host galaxy offset, are, however, inconsistent with those of other short GRBs believed to originate from binary neutron star mergers. Rather, these properties resemble those of long GRBs. This burst confirms the existence of short duration GRBs with stellar core-collapse origin, and presents some challenges to the existing models.
We may infer a transition $|n rangle to |m rangle$ between energy eigenstates of an open quantum system by observing the emission of a photon of Bohr frequency $omega_{mn} = (E_n-E_m) / hbar$. In addition to the collapses to the state $|mrangle$, the
measurement must also have brought into existence the pre-measurement state $|n rangle$. As quantum trajectories are based on past observations, the condition state will jump to $| m rangle$, but the state $|nrangle$ does not feature in any essential way. We resolve this paradox by looking at quantum smoothing and derive the time-symmetric model for quantum jumps.
The rapidly growing base of observational data for supernova explosions of massive stars demands theoretical explanations. Central of these is a self-consistent model for the physical mechanism that provides the energy to start and drive the disrupti
on of the star. We give arguments why the delayed neutrino-heating mechanism should still be regarded as the standard paradigm to explain most explosions of massive stars and show how large-scale and even global asymmetries can result as a natural consequence of convective overturn in the neutrino-heating region behind the supernova shock. Since the explosion is a threshold phenomenon and depends sensitively on the efficiency of the energy transfer by neutrinos, even relatively minor differences in numerical simulations can matter on the secular timescale of the delayed mechanism. To enhance this point, we present some results of recent one- and two-dimensional computations, which we have performed with a Boltzmann solver for the neutrino transport and a state-of-the-art description of neutrino-matter interactions. Although our most complete models fail to explode, the simulations demonstrate that one is encouragingly close to the critical threshold because a modest variation of the neutrino transport in combination with postshock convection leads to a weak neutrino-driven explosion with properties that fulfill important requirements from observations.
Immediately after their formation, the terrestrial planets experienced intense impact bombardment by comets, leftover planetesimals from primary accretion, and asteroids. This temporal interval in solar system evolution, termed late accretion, therma
lly and chemically modified solid planetary surfaces and may have impeded the emergence of life on the Hadean Earth. The sources and tempo of late accretion are, however, vague. Here, we present a timeline that relates variably retentive radiometric ages from asteroidal meteorites, to new dynamical models of late accretion that invokes giant planet migration. Reconciliation of the geochronological data with dynamical models shows that giant planet migration immediately leads to an intense 30 Myr influx of comets to the entire solar system. The absence of whole-sale crustal reset ages after 4450 Ma for the most resilient chronometers from Earth, Moon, Mars, Vesta and various meteorite parent bodies confines the onset of giant planet migration to no later than ca. 4480 Ma. Waning impacts from planetesimals, asteroids (and a minor cometary component) continue to strike the inner planets through a protracted monotonic decline in impactor flux; this is in agreement with predictions from crater chronology. Amended global 3-D thermal analytical bombardment models derived from our new impact mass-production functions show that persistent niches for prebiotic chemistry on the early Hadean Earth could endure late accretion for at least the last 4400 Myr.
