Investigation of the Prompt SNe Ia progenitor nature through the analysis of the chemical composition of globular clusters and circumgalactic clouds

Abstract

A method is proposed for determining the properties of type Ia supernovae from short-lived precursors -- Prompt SNIa. This method is based on the assumption that this subtype of type Ia supernovae exploded into low-metallicity globular clusters (GCs), and is responsible for the enrichment of the high-metallicity subgroup of GCs and circumgalactic clouds (CGCs) with the iron peak elements. We justify that CGCs are the formation places of GCs of both subgroups. The accuracy of the method depends, first, on the number of GCs, the spectra of which have been studied in detail; second, on the number of chemical elements, the abundances of which have been worked out. Only those elements are of interest for this method that are produced in supernova explosions and are not produced at the previous stage of the stellar evolution. Our estimates of nucleosynthesis in low-metallicity supernova GCs are in the best agreement with the following Prompt SNIa model: Single Degenerate Pure Deflagration Models of white dwarfs (WDs) burning with masses in the range from 1.30 Msun to 1.31 Msun if carbon explodes in the centre of a WD with a low central density from 0.5*10^9 g/cm^3 to 10^9 g/cm^3.
