SN 2022prv: Bright Type-II Supernova with Signs of Interaction with Circumstellar Matter

The results of photometric and spectroscopic observations of supernova SN 2022prv carried out with six telescopes including the 6-m telescope of the Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the 2.5-m telescope of the Caucasus Mountain Observatory of SAI MSU are presented. The dates and magnitudes at the brightness maximum and the parameters of the light curves are determined. The photometric evolution of SN 2022prv is characterized by a constant decrease in brightness after the maximum at a rate quite high for a type II supernovae. Approximately 55 days after the maximum, the rate of the decrease in brightness increased. The maximum luminosity has reached \(M_{V}=-18\overset{\textrm{m}}{.}1\) which is higher than average for SN II. In the pre-maximum spectra, high-excitation emission lines were observed characteristic of the ionization of the circumstellar matter by a burst during the shock wave emergence onto the surface of the star. However, approximately 20 days after the maximum, the spectrum did not differ from that typical of SN II. The rate of the envelope expansion at this stage was about 3500 km s \({}^{-1}\) which is a little smaller than average for SN II values.
