PTF11kx: A Type-Ia Supernova with a Symbiotic Nova Progenitor
B. Dilday, D. A. Howell, S. B. Cenko +32
There is a consensus that Type-Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) arise from the thermonuclear explosion of white dwarf stars that accrete matter from a binary companion. However, direct obser…
Analysis of the Early-Time Optical Spectra of SN 2011fe in M101
J. T. Parrent, D. A. Howell, B. Friesen +35
The nearby Type Ia supernova SN 2011fe in M101 (cz=241 km s^-1) provides a unique opportunity to study the early evolution of a "normal" Type Ia supernova, its compositional struct…
Linking Type Ia Supernova Progenitors and their Resulting Explosions
Ryan J. Foley, Joshua D. Simon, Christopher R. Burns +7
Comparing the ejecta velocities at maximum brightness and narrow circumstellar/interstellar Na D absorption line profiles of a sample of 23 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), we determin…
