Observational properties of SLSN-I
• Mmax <= − 21m; Lbol,max > 7 · 1043 erg/s.• Typically, they are very blue and emit qiute much inUV range.
• The range of Mmax is not so large (' 1m); the rangeof the slopes after max is quite large.
• V ' 10, 000km/s, starting from maximum.• Many, if not all, of SLSNe has small bump on therising part of the light curve.
• For some of SLSNe-I: H lines in nebular spectrawith v ' 4, 000km/s, R ' 4× 1016cm (iPTF13ehe;Lin+ 2015).
An ideal model must explain all the properties at once.We are still far from the ideal.

Three scenarios proposed for SLSNe-I
• Pair instability Supernovae, PISN• “Magnetar” pumping (BUT observed magnetars areslowly rotating, and here millisecond periods areneeded)
• Shock interaction with CSM, e.g. as a result ofPulsational pair instability, PPISN

3 outcomes of pair-instability
Here are only He-core models,labeled by “He” and the mass ofthe core. They all reach pairinstability, subsequentlyexperiencing 1) pulsations
(He48),2) complete disruption (He80), or3) direct collapse (He160).

It is clear that at least some SLSNe are not PISN.

Ejecta–CSM interaction models with modest energy
PISN and magnetar models requires very high explosion energy andextremly high radioactive nickel production.
In many cases, CSM interaction scenario doesn’t require so extremeparameters.
Our Lagrangean 1D code STELLA with multigroup radiative transferallows us to get more economical models.

Radioactive origin of pre-maximum bump?

19
Some more realistic explanaitions of bumps
• 1st bump - shock break-out through an extended pre-SN envelope,main max - another (whichever) main source of energy.
• Two (or more) subsequent explosions/ejections (quite natural forPPISN scenario – see recent paper by Woosley 2017, with lots ofmodels)
• Stratification of ejected elements along the radius:Innermost layes of CO-rich gas become opaque at lower T, thenphotosphere stalls waiting for helium layers to become opaque athigher T.

Problems with 2-explosion models
It is the easiest model for light curve calculation,BUT it is unclear if it is physically possible to produce 2 energeticexplosion or mass ejection so close in timeand WHY this time delay and brightness ratio of two maxima are sosimilar for many SLSNe.
28
Post-shock-breakout cooling, then interaction(or subsequent interactions with several ejections)
Piston expands 8 Msun of He-envelope with E = 1B;density distribution in 1e7 s and 2e7 s
29
Then 2nd explosion produces the whole light curve

Conclusions
• Interaction models are able to reproduce both narrow and wide LCsof SLSNe. They require quite large mass of CO-rich material ejectedwithin few months to years before the final explosion. The problemof high velocities will be discussed in the next talk.
• The origin of pre-maximum bumps still remain questionable.• Most natural explanation of the post-maximum bump is theinteraction of SCM layers or bullets.
• The combination of the SLSN scenarios is promising.• The ideal scenario have to explain ALL observational features atonce: LCs including bumps, high velocities, etc.
The work is in progress
