<p>Hello</p>
<p>On Friday the 22nd of April at 10:30, Mike Barlow (UCL) will be
giving our next seminar. This will be a hybrid seminar - you are
welcome to either attend in person in FC61 or via Zoom. Mike
will be visiting the department that Friday and we will be going
for lunch with him after the seminar.</p>
<p><b>Dust Formation by Supernovae</b><br>
<br>
The large quantities of dust found in a number of high redshift
galaxies has led to suggestions that core-collapse supernovae
(CCSNe) are the main sources of their dust and has motivated the
measurement of the dust masses formed by local and extragalactic
CCSNe. A widely used technique for CCSN dust mass determination,
namely the fitting of their optical-IR spectral energy
distributions, is restricted to warmer dust emitting shortwards
of 30 microns by the lack of sufficiently sensitive facilities
operating at longer wavelengths. However, an alternative
technique for measuring total dust masses is available, one
which is insensitive to dust temperature. This method relies on
the spectral modelling of the red-blue asymmetries in late-epoch
optical emission line profiles, produced by dust within the
ejecta that selectively absorbs red-shifted photons emitted from
the far side of the ejecta. After reviewing earlier work on CCSN
dust masses, I will report on dust masses obtained from line
profile fitting for a large VLT and Gemini spectral survey of
extragalactic CCSNe, some observed at epochs up to 60 years
after outburst. Evidence will be presented for a slow growth in
CCSN ejecta dust masses with time, taking approximately 30 years
to saturate at a mean dust mass of 0.4 solar masses per CCSN.</p>
