An electron-capture supernova (ECSN) is a core-collapse supernova (CCSN) explosion of a super-asymptotic giant branch (SAGB) star with a main-sequence mass $M_{rm ms}sim7-9.5M_odot$. The explosion takes place in accordance with core bounce and subsequent neutrino heating and is a unique example successfully produced by first-principle simulations. This allows us to derive a first self-consistent multicolor light curves of a CCSN. Adopting the explosion properties derived by the first-principle simulation, i.e., the low explosion energy of $1.5times10^{50}$ erg and the small $^{56}$Ni mass of $2.5times10^{-3}M_odot$, we perform a multigroup radiation hydrodynamics calculation of ECSNe and present multicolor light curves of ECSNe of SAGB stars with various envelope mass and hydrogen abundance. We demonstrate that a shock breakout has peak luminosity of $Lsim2times10^{44}$ erg/s and can evaporate circumstellar dust up to $Rsim10^{17}$ cm for a case of carbon dust, that plateau luminosity and plateau duration of ECSNe are $Lsim10^{42}$ erg/s and $tsim60-100$ days, respectively, and that a plateau is followed by a tail with a luminosity drop by $sim4$ mag. The ECSN shows a bright and short plateau that is as bright as typical Type II plateau supernovae, and a faint tail that might be influenced by spin-down luminosity of a newborn pulsar. Furthermore, the theoretical models are compared with ECSN candidates: SN 1054 and SN 2008S. We find that SN 1054 shares the characteristics of the ECSNe. For SN 2008S, we find that its faint plateau requires an ECSN model with a significantly low explosion energy of $Esim10^{48}$ erg.

Stars of $sim$ 8 - 10 $M_{odot}$ on the main-sequence form strongly electron-degenerate O+Ne+Mg core and become super-AGB stars. If such an O+Ne+Mg core grows to 1.38 $M_odot$, electron captures on $^{20}$Ne$(e, u_e)^{20}$F$(e, u_e)^{20}$O take place
and ignite O-Ne deflagration around the center. In this paper, we perform two-dimensional hydrodynamics simulations of the propagation of the O-Ne flame to see whether such a flame induces a collapse of the O+Ne+Mg core due to subsequent electron capture behind the flame or triggers a thermonuclear explosion. We present a series of models to explore how the outcome depends on model parameters for the central density in the range from $10^{9.80}$ to $10^{10.20}$ g cm$^{-3}$, flame structure of both centered and off-centered ignition kernels, special and general relativistic effects, turbulent flame speed formula and the treatments of laminar burning phase. We find that the O+Ne+Mg core obtained from stellar evolutionary models has a high tendency to collapse into a neutron star. We obtain the bifurcation between the electron-capture collapse and thermonuclear explosion. We discuss the implication in nucleosynthesis and the possible observational signals of this class of supernovae.
We present the spectroscopic and photometric study of five intermediate-luminosity red transients (ILRTs), namely AT 2010dn, AT 2012jc, AT 2013la, AT 2013lb, and AT 2018aes. They share common observational properties and belong to a family of objects
similar to the prototypical ILRT SN~2008S. These events have a rise time that is less than 15 days and absolute peak magnitudes of between $-11.5$ and $-14.5$ mag. Their pseudo-bolometric light curves peak in the range $0.5$ - $9.0 times10^{40}~mathrm{erg~s}^{-1}$ and their total radiated energies are on the order of (0.3 - 3) $times$~10$^{47}$~erg. After maximum brightness, the light curves show a monotonic decline or a plateau, resembling those of faint supernovae IIL or IIP, respectively. At late phases, the light curves flatten, roughly following the slope of the $^{56}$Co decay. If the late-time power source is indeed radioactive decay, these transients produce $^{56}$Ni masses on the order of $10^{-4}$ to $10^{-3}$~msun. The spectral energy distribution of our ILRT sample, extending from the optical to the mid-infrared (MIR) domain, reveals a clear IR excess soon after explosion and non-negligible MIR emission at very late phases. The spectra show prominent H lines in emission with a typical velocity of a few hundred km~s$^{-1}$, along with Ca~II features. In particular, the [Ca~II] $lambda$7291,7324 doublet is visible at all times, which is a characteristic feature for this family of transients. The identified progenitor of SN~2008S, which is luminous in archival Spitzer MIR images, suggests an intermediate-mass precursor star embedded in a dusty cocoon. We propose the explosion of a super-asymptotic giant branch star forming an electron-capture supernova as a plausible explanation for these events.
We explore the detailed and broad properties of carbon burning in Super Asymptotic Giant Branch (SAGB) stars with 2755 MESA stellar evolution models. The location of first carbon ignition, quenching location of the carbon burning flames and flashes,
angular frequency of the carbon core, and carbon core mass are studied as a function of the ZAMS mass, initial rotation rate, and mixing parameters such as convective overshoot, semiconvection, thermohaline and angular momentum transport. In general terms, we find these properties of carbon burning in SAGB models are not a strong function of the initial rotation profile, but are a sensitive function of the overshoot parameter. We quasi-analytically derive an approximate ignition density, $rho_{ign} approx 2.1 times 10^6$ g cm$^{-3}$, to predict the location of first carbon ignition in models that ignite carbon off-center. We also find that overshoot moves the ZAMS mass boundaries where off-center carbon ignition occurs at a nearly uniform rate of $Delta M_{rm ZAMS}$/$Delta f_{rm{ov}}approx$ 1.6 $M_{odot}$. For zero overshoot, $f_{rm{ov}}$=0.0, our models in the ZAMS mass range $approx$ 8.9 to 11 $M_{odot}$ show off-center carbon ignition. For canonical amounts of overshooting, $f_{rm{ov}}$=0.016, the off-center carbon ignition range shifts to $approx$ 7.2 to 8.8 $M_{odot}$. Only systems with $f_{rm{ov}}$ $geq 0.01$ and ZAMS mass $approx$ 7.2-8.0 $M_{odot}$ show carbon burning is quenched a significant distance from the center. These results suggest a careful assessment of overshoot modeling approximations on claims that carbon burning quenches an appreciable distance from the center of the carbon core.
In the transitional mass range ($sim$ 8-10 solar masses) between white dwarf formation and iron core-collapse supernovae, stars are expected to produce an electron-capture supernova. Theoretically, these progenitors are thought to be super-asymptotic
giant branch stars with a degenerate O+Ne+Mg core, and electron capture onto Ne and Mg nuclei should initiate core collapse. However, no supernovae have unequivocally been identified from an electron-capture origin, partly because of uncertainty in theoretical predictions. Here we present six indicators of electron-capture supernovae and show that supernova 2018zd is the only known supernova having strong evidence for or consistent with all six: progenitor identification, circumstellar material, chemical composition, explosion energy, light curve, and nucleosynthesis. For supernova 2018zd, we infer a super-asymptotic giant branch progenitor based on the faint candidate in the pre-explosion images and the chemically-enriched circumstellar material revealed by the early ultraviolet colours and flash spectroscopy. The light-curve morphology and nebular emission lines can be explained with the low explosion energy and neutron-rich nucleosynthesis produced in an electron-capture supernova. This identification provides insights into the complex stellar evolution, supernova physics, cosmic nucleosynthesis, and remnant populations in the transitional mass range.
The late-time evolution of the neutrino event rate from supernovae is evaluated for Super-Kamiokande using simulated results of proto-neutron star (PNS) cooling. In the present work we extend the result of Suwa et al. (2019) [arXiv:1904.09996], which
studied the dependence on the PNS mass, but focus on the impact of the nuclear equation of state (EOS). We find that the neutrino event rate depends on both the high-density and low-density EOS, where the former determines the radius of the PNS and the latter affects its surface temperature. Based on the present evaluation of the neutrino event rate we propose a new analysis method to extract the time variability of the neutrino average energy taking into account the statistical error in the observation.
