10. SNe and SNRs with circumstellar interactions

1st Abstract

Dust plays an important role in astrophysics, and the demand to characterize and understand dust is increasingly appreciated. In addition to asymptotic giant branch stars evolved from low- and intermediate-mass star, supernovae (SNe) are an important contributor to interstellar dust. On the other hand, SNe destroy interstellar dust due to its violent shock waves. How much SNe contribute to and affect interstellar dust is very unclear. The estimation of amount of dust from per SN has an uncertainty of three orders. Rather than from the dust emission, we study the dust property of SNR through its extinction, which has the advantage of avoiding the very uncertain dust temperature. The SNR S147 is chosen as the first target. Based on the LAMOST spectroscopic survey and the UCAC4 photometric catalog, the intrinsic color index is derived with its relation to the effective temperature given the spectral luminosity and metallicity in a way similar to Wang & Jiang (2014). Based on the color excess in various bands, the extinction curve is derived. Finally, we present a dust model to fit the extinction curve, which explores the properties of the dust in S147 including the dust size distribution, dust composition and shape etc. The properties are compared with that of the normal interstellar dust.
