Raising the Dead: Clues to Type Ia Supernova Physics from the Remnant 0509−67.5
We present Chandra X-ray observations of the young supernova remnant (SNR) 0509−67.5 in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), believed to be the product of a Type Ia supernova (SN Ia). The remnant is very round in shape, with a distinct clumpy shell-like structure that extends to an average radius of 14.8 ′′ (3.6 pc) in the X-ray band. Our Chandra data reveal the remnant to be rich in silicon, sulf...
متن کاملThe Stellar Ancestry of Supernova Progenitors in the Magellanic Clouds - I. the Most Recent Supernovae in the Large Magellanic Cloud
We use the star formation history map of the Large Magellanic Cloud recently published by Harris & Zaritsky to study the sites of the eight smallest (and presumably youngest) supernova remnants in the Cloud: SN 1987A, N158A, N49, and N63A (core collapse remnants), 0509−67.5, 0519−69.0, N103B, and DEM L71 (Type Ia remnants). The local star formation histories provide unique insights into the nat...

متن کاملCompanion Stars of Type Ia supernovae with different metallicities
Single degenerate model is the widely accepted progenitor model of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), where a CO WD accretes hydrogen-rich material from its companion to increase its mass. The companion may be a main-sequence star or a subgiant star (WD + MS). When the CO WD approaches the Chandrasekhar mass limit, it explodes as a SN Ia and a part of supernova ejecta collides into the companion enve...
متن کاملThe Schweizer–Middleditch star revisited
We have re-observed and re-analysed the optical spectrum of the Schweizer–Middleditch star, a hot subdwarf which lies along almost the same line-of-sight as the centre of the historic SN1006 supernova remnant (SNR). Although this object is itself unlikely to be the remnant of the star which exploded in 1006AD, Wellstein et al. (1999) have demonstrated that it could be the remnant of the donor s...
