Jet-powered supernovae of 105\,M population III stars are observable by Euclid, WFIRST, WISH, and JWST
Abstract
Supermassive black holes observed at high redshift z6 could grow from direct collapse black holes (DCBHs) with mass 105\,M, which result from the collapse of supermassive stars (SMSs). If a relativistic jet is launched from a DCBH, it can break out of the collapsing SMS and produce a gamma-ray burst (GRB). Although most of the GRB jets are off-axis from our line of sight, we show that the energy injected from the jet into a cocoon is huge 1055-56\,erg, so that the cocoon fireball is observed as ultra-luminous supernovae of 1045-46\,erg\,s-1 for 5000 [(1+z)/16] \,days. They are detectable by the future telescopes with near infrared bands, such as, Euclid, WFIRST, WISH, and JWST up to z20 and 100 events per year, providing a direct evidence of the DCBH scenario.
