Uncommon SN 2020jfo: Ordinary explosion of 8 Msun red supergiant with dense wind

Abstract

We present the hydrodynamic model of Type IIP SN 2020jfo with the unusually short (nearly 60 days) light curve plateau. The model suggests the explosion of about 8 Msun red supergiant that ejected nearly 6 Msun with the energy of about 0.8x10^51 erg. The presupernova wind density turns out highest among known SNe IIP. Yet the presupernova was not embedded into a very dense confined circumstellar shell that is a feature of some Type IIP supernovae, so the circumstellar interaction in close environment does not contribute noticeably to the initial (about 10 days) bolometric luminosity. Despite uncommon appearance SN 2020jfo turns out similar to SN 1970G in the V-band light curve, photospheric velocities, and, possibly, luminosity as well.
