JWST Low-resolution MIRI Spectral Observations of SN 2021aefx: High-density Burning in a Type Ia Supernova

We present a JWST/MIRI low-resolution mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopic observation of the normal Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) SN 2021aefx at +323 days past rest-frame B -band maximum light. The spectrum ranges from 4 to 14 μ m and shows many unique qualities, including a flat-topped [Ar iii ] 8.991 μ m...
