Could There Be A Hole In Type Ia Supernovae?
Daniel Kasen, Peter Nugent, R. C. Thomas +1
In the favored progenitor scenario, Type Ia supernovae arise from a white dwarf accreting material from a non-degenerate companion star. Soon after the white dwarf explodes, the ej…
Spectropolarimetry of SN 2001el in NGC 1448: Asphericity of a Normal Type Ia Supernova
Lifan Wang, Dietrich Baade, Peter Hoeflich +6
High-quality spectropolarimetry (range 417-860 nm; spectral resolution 1.27 nm and 0.265 nm/pixel) of the SN Ia 2001el were obtained with the ESO Very Large Telescope Melipal (+ FO…
Analysis of the Flux and Polarization Spectra of the Type Ia Supernova SN 2001el: Exploring the Geometry of the High-velocity Ejecta
Daniel Kasen, Peter Nugent, Lifan Wang +6
SN 2001el is the first normal Type Ia supernova to show a strong, intrinsic polarization signal. In addition, during the epochs prior to maximum light, the CaII IR triplet absorpti…
