SN 2006jc ► R.A. : 09h 17m 20.78s ► Dec. : +41 º 54' 32.7" ► Distance: ~77 M light years in UGC4904 ► Constellation: Lynx ( 山貓 ) ► Type Ib supernova Lacks hydrogen and presents non-ionized helium (He I) line at nm and no strong silicon absorption feature near 615 nm.

SN 2006jc ► On Oct. 20, 2004, Koichi Itagaki saw the star let loose an outburst so bright that it was initially mistaken for a supernova. ► On Oct. 11, 2006, astronomers witnessed the star actually blowing itself as Supernova 2006jc.

News ► “ We have never observed a stellar outburst and then later seen the star explode. ” said Ryan Foley. ► Narrow helium spectral lines showed that the supernova's blast wave ran into a slow- moving shell of material, presumably the progenitor's outer layers that were ejected just two years earlier.

News ► Foley ’ s group propose that the star recently transitioned from a Luminous Blue Variable (LBV) star to a Wolf-Rayet star. ► Similar to the 2004 eruption, LBVs tended to blow off large amounts of mass in outbursts so extreme that they are frequently mistaken for supernovae. ► They called these events are "supernova impostors."

News ► Most astronomers did not expect that a massive star would explode so soon after a major outburst, or that a Wolf-Rayet star would produce such a luminous eruption, so SN 2006jc represents a puzzle for theorists. ► “ It opens up a new window on how some kinds of stars die. ” said Alex Filippenko.
