EC-SNe FROM SUPER-ASYMPTOTIC GIANT BRANCH PROGENITORS: THEORETICAL MODELS VERSUS OBSERVATIONS
EC-SNe FROM SUPER-ASYMPTOTIC GIANT BRANCH PROGENITORS: THEORETICAL MODELS VERSUS OBSERVATIONS
Using a parametric approach, we determine the configuration of super-asymptotic giant branch (super-AGB) stars at the explosion as a function of the initial mass and metallicity, in order to verify if the electron-capture supernova (EC-SN) scenario involving a super-AGB star is compatible with the observations regarding SN2008ha and SN2008S.
