Cosmic Supernova Rate History and Type Ia Supernova Progenitors
arXiv:astro-ph/0102247 · doi:10.1142/9789812810830_0073
Abstract
Adopting a single degenerate scenario for Type Ia supernova progenitors with the metallicity effect, we make a prediction of the cosmic supernova rate history as a composite of the supernova rates in spiral and elliptical galaxies, and compare with the recent observational data up to z ~ 0.55.
