Nebular Spectra of 111 Type Ia Supernovae Disfavor Single Degenerate Progenitors
read the original abstract
We place statistical constraints on Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) progenitors using 227 nebular phase spectra of 111 SNe Ia. We find no evidence of stripped companion emission in any of the nebular phase spectra. Upper limits are placed on the amount of mass that could go undetected in each spectrum using recent hydrodynamic simulations. With these null detections, we place an observational $3\sigma$ upper limit on the fraction of SNe Ia that are produced through the classical H-rich non-degenerate companion scenario of < 5.5%. Additionally, we set a tentative $3\sigma$ upper limit on He star progenitor scenarios of < 6.4%, although further theoretical modelling is required. These limits refer to our most representative sample including normal, 91bg-like, 91T-like, and "Super Chandrasekhar" \sne but excluding SNe Iax and SNe Ia-CSM. As part of our analysis, we also derive a Nebular Phase Phillips Relation, which approximates the brightness of a SN Ia from $150-500$~days after maximum using the peak magnitude and decline rate parameter $\Delta m_{15} (B)$.

The type Ia supernova 2023vjh: a peculiar 1991bg-like SN with unusually faint light curves
SN 2023vjh is an unusually faint 91bg-like SN Ia whose light curves and colors suggest possible CSM extinction despite minimal host interstellar dust signatures.
