Formation and Diagnostic Use of Carbon Lines in Stripped-Envelope Supernovae
Carbon is one of the main end products of nucleosynthesis in massive stars. In this work, we study the emission signatures of carbon in spectra of stripped envelope supernovae (SESNe). A grid of model nebular spectra is created using the NLTE radiative transfer code SUMO, with stellar evolution- and explosion models as inputs. In the models, [C I] λ8727 and [C I] λλ9824, 9850 are identified as the only significant optical carbon lines, with contribution from both the O/C and He/C zones. To o…
