Modelling the Spectra of SN 1998bw from a Jet Powered Explosion Model
Abstract
Supernova 1998bw and several other extreme Type Ic supernovae show strong evidence of asymmetry. We have segmented the jet induced model for these objects by Maeda & Nomoto into several slices and modelled each of slices as independent objects. We compare a sequence of early spectra of SN 1998bw to the spectra of these slice and also to a composit spectrum made from all of the segments.
