Multiband Photometry Evolution in the First Weeks of SN 2023ixf, a possible II-L Subtype Supernova

摘要

Multiband photometric observations and their evaluation to instrumental magnitudes were performed using standard Johnson-Cousins filters (B, V, Rc) as well r and g Sloan filters, and not standard ones (R, G, B, and Clear filters). These were recorded from 9 observatories and from the MicroObservatory Robotic Telescope Network. The results describe the rapid ascent towards the maximum (2.5 magnitudes about in five days in the B filter) and the slow decrease after the maximum (0.0425 +/- 0.02 magnitudes/day in the B filter). The results highlight the strong variation of the B-V colour indices during the first 50 days (from -0.20 +/- 0.02 to +0.85 +/- 0.02) and V-R (from 0 +/- 0.01 to +0.50 +/- 0.01) after the explosion, presumably corresponding to the cooling of the stellar photosphere. At 50 days after the explosion the magnitude decrease from the maximum was observed to continue where it faded by 2.5 magnitudes (B filter), thus we propose SN 2023ixf is a Type II, subtype L, supernova (SNe).
