Initial 56Ni Masses in Type Ia Supernovae

Abstract

We infer initial masses of the synthesized radioactive nickel-56 in a sample of recent Type Ia supernovae applying a new formalism introduced recently by Khatami & Kasen (2019). It is shown that the nickel masses we derive do not differ significantly from previous estimates based on the traditional Arnett-model. We derive the $\beta$ parameter for our sample SNe and show that these are consistent with the fiducial value of $\sim 1.6$ given by Khatami & Kasen (2019) from SN Ia hydrodynamical simulations.
