Abstract

In this work we present the photometric and spectroscopic observations of type IIb supernova 2017gpn. This supernova was discovered in the error-box of the LIGO/Virgo G299232 gravitational-wave event. We obtained the light curves in the B and R passbands and modelled them numerically using the one-dimensional radiation hydrocode STELLA. The best-fitting model has the following parameters: the pre-SN star mass and the radius are M ≈ 3.5 M⊙ and R ≈ 50 R⊙, respectively; the explosion energy is Eexp≈1.2×1051 erg; the mass of radioactive nickel is M56Ni≈0.11 M⊙, which is completely mixed throughout the ejecta; and the mass of the hydrogen envelope MH_env ≈ 0.06 M⊙. Moreover, SN 2017gpn is a confirmed SN IIb that is located at the farthest distance from the centre of its host galaxy NGC 1343 (i.e. the projected distance is ∼21 kpc). This challenges the scenario of the origin of type IIb supernovae from massive stars.
