Chandra OBSERVATIONS OF TYPE IA SUPERNOVAE: UPPER LIMITS TO THE X-RAY FLUX OF SN 2002BO, SN 2002IC, SN 2005GJ, AND SN 2005KE
We set sensitive upper limits to the X-ray emission of four Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) using the Chandra X-ray Observatory. SN 2002bo, a normal, although reddened, nearby SN Ia, was observed 9.3 days after explosion. For an absorbed, high temperature bremsstrahlung model the flux limits are 3.2 × 10 ergs cm s (0.5–2 keV band) and 4.1 × 10 ergs cm s (2–10 keV band). Using conservative model ass...
متن کامل0 Central Elemental Abundance Ratios in the Perseus Cluster : Resonant Scattering or SN Ia Enrichment ?
We have determined elemental abundance ratios in the core of the Perseus cluster for several elements. These ratios indicate a central dominance of SN Ia ejecta similar to that found for A496, A2199 and A3571 (Dupke & White 2000a). Simultaneous analysis of ASCA spectra from SIS1, GIS 2&3 shows that the ratio of Ni to Fe abundances is ∼ 3.4 ± 1.1 times Solar within the central 4. This ratio is c...
متن کاملON SN 2003fg: THE PROBABLE SUPER-CHANDRASEKHAR-MASS SN Ia
Howell et al. have reported the discovery of SN Ia SN 2003fg (SNLS-03D3bb) and conclude that SN 2003fg is very likely a super-Chandrasekhar-mass SN Ia perhaps with a mass∼ 2M⊙. Their work is the first strong evidence that has been presented for a super-Chandrasekhar SN Ia. We have performed an analysis of the SN 2003fg data using the Yoon & Langer binding energy formula for a rotating super-Cha...
متن کاملNew Constraints on Sn Ia Progenitor Models
We use the StarTrack population synthesis code to discuss potential progenitor models of SN Ia: single degenerate scenario, semi-detached double white dwarf binary and double degenerate scenario. Using the most recent calculations of accretion onto white dwarfs, we consider SN Ia explosions of various white dwarfs in binary systems. We calculate the evolutionary delay times from the zero age ma...
متن کاملEvidence for Short-lived Sn Ia Progenitors
The standardization of SNIa as standard candles is still largely empirical and may be affected by as-yet unexplored effects evolving with redshift. A systematic effect of 1–2% in the peak luminosity correlated with redshift is not excluded by current observations, and could be degenerate with cosmological parameters jeopardizing the measurement of the equation of state parameters of the estimat...
