R-band observations of PTF 10vgv

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present the discovery of PTF 10vgv, a Type Ic supernova (SN) detected by the Palomar Transient Factory, using the Palomar 48 inch telescope (P48).

Description

R-band observations of the PTF 10vgv field with P48 probe the SN emission from its very early phases (about two weeks before R-band maximum) and set limits on its flux in the week prior to the discovery. Our sensitive upper limits and early detections constrain the post-shock-breakout luminosity of this event.

Via comparison to numerical (analytical) models, we derive an upper-limit of R<~4.5R_{sun}_ (R<~1R_{sun}_) on the radius of the progenitor star, a direct indication in favor of a compact Wolf-Rayet star. Applying a similar analysis to the historical observations of SN 1994I yields R<~1/4R_{sun}_ for the progenitor radius of this SN.
