Abstract:
The progenitors of SN 2008S and the 2008 luminous transient in NGC 300
were deeply dust-enshrouded massive stars, with extremely red
mid-infrared (MIR) colors and relatively low bolometric luminosities
( 5x10^4^L_sun_). Because of the implied frequency of events similar
to SN 2008S and NGC 300 and the interesting character of their
progenitors, we searched for analogous sources in archival Spitzer
imaging of nearby galaxies. Our goal was to identify the underlying
subpopulation of massive stars from which these progenitors emerge, to
characterize their properties and frequency, and to catalog them for
future study. The Triangulum galaxy M33 is a perfect test case. It has
an absolute B-band magnitude of M_B_ -19.2, a distance of 0.96Mpc,
and it has extensive optical, Halpha, MIR and FIR imaging.
Description:
We co-added six epochs of MIR imaging of M33 obtained between 2004
January 9 and 2006 February 4 with Spitzer/IRAC (3.6-8.0um; see
McQuinn et al. 2007, Cat. J/ApJ/664/850, for details of the observing
program).
