Description

The diversity in the observed properties of different types of supernovae (SNe) are crucial to understanding how the life of stars ends differently. Diversity among underlying powering mechanisms may play a vital role among other possible factors (e.g., progenitor, environment). Unique properties and scarcity of Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) associated SNe (GRB-SNe) seek attention and are exciting for investigating their underlying powering sources. There are three traditional standard models to explain the properties of most of the SNe; radio-active decay of Ni-56 (RD), spin-down millisecond magnetar (MAG), and ejecta-circumstellar interaction (CSM). A magnetar with a spin period of 1 millisecond, mass of 1.4 solar masses, and radius of 10 kilometers has a rotational energy reservoir of nearly 2.2x10^53 ergs, hence can explain the light-curves of various types of SNe, including GRB-SNe. With a given opportunity, I would like to talk about how milliseconds magnetars are the most favorable powering sources of GRB-SNe and will discuss the ultimate tools, such as MOSFiT, MINIM, TigerFit, etc., to probe their characteristics.
