The death of massive stars - II. Observational constraints on the progenitors of Type Ibc supernovae
Open accessAbstract
The progenitors of many Type II core-collapse supernovae (SNe) have now been identified directly on pre-discovery imaging.Here, we present an extensive search for the progenitors of Type Ibc SNe in all available pre-discovery imaging since 1998.There are 12 Type Ibc SNe with no detections of progenitors in either deep ground-based or Hubble Space Telescope archival imaging.The deepest absolute BVR magnitude limits are between -4 and -5 mag.We compare these limits with the observed Wolf-Rayet population in the Large Magellanic Cloud and estimate a 16 per cent probability that we have failed to detect such a progenitor by chance.Alternatively, the progenitors evolve significantly before core-collapse or we have underestimated the extinction towards the progenitors.Reviewing the relative rates and ejecta mass estimates from light-curve modelling of Ibc SNe, we find both incompatible with Wolf-Rayet stars with initial masses >25 M being the only progenitors.We present binary evolution models that fit these observational constraints.Stars in binaries with initial masses 20 M lose their hydrogen envelopes in binary interactions to become low-mass helium stars.They retain a low-mass hydrogen envelope until ≈10 4 yr before core-collapse; hence, it is not surprising that Galactic analogues have been difficult to identify.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
