The superluminous SN DES13S2cmm as a signature of a quark-nova in a He-HMXB system.

OUYED R., LEAHY D. and KONING N.

Abstract (from CDS):

We show that by appealing to a Quark-Nova (QN) (the explosive transition of a neutron star (NS) to a quark star (QS)) occurring in a helium-high-mass X-ray binary (He-HMXB) system we can account for the lightcurve of the first superluminous SN, DES13S2cmm, discovered by the Dark-energy Survey. The NS's explosive conversion is triggered as a result of accretion during the He-HMXB's second common envelope (CE) phase. The dense, relativistic, QN ejecta in turn energizes the extended He-rich CE in an inside-out shock heating process. We find an excellent fit (reduced χ2 of 1.09) to the bolometric light curve of SN DES13S2cmm including the late time emission, which we attribute to black hole accretion following the conversion of the QS to a black hole.
