RI light curves of the type IIn SN 2009ip

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

Recent observations by Mauerhan et al. (2013MNRAS.430.1801M) have shown the unprecedented transition of the previously identified luminous blue variable (LBV) and supernova (SN) impostor SN 2009ip to a real Type IIn SN explosion.

Description

We present ~100 optical R- and I-band photometric measurements of SN 2009ip obtained between UT 2012 September 23.6 and October 9.6, using 0.3-0.4m aperture telescopes from the Coral Towers Observatory in Cairns, Australia.

The light curves show well-defined phases, including very rapid brightening early on (0.5mag in 6hr observed during the night of September 24), a transition to a much slower rise between September 25 and September 28, and a plateau/peak around October 7. These changes are coincident with the reported spectroscopic changes that most likely mark the start of a strong interaction between the fast SN ejecta and a dense circumstellar medium formed during the LBV eruptions observed in recent years.

In the 16-day observing period, SN 2009ip brightened by 3.7mag from I=17.4mag on September 23.6 (M_I_=~-14.2) to I=13.7mag (M_I_=~-17.9) on October 9.6, radiating ~3x10^49^erg in the optical wavelength range. As of 2012 October 9.6, SN 2009ip is more luminous than most Type IIP SN and comparable to other Type IIn SN.
