No Surviving SN Ia Companion in SNR 0509-67.5: Stellar Population Characterization and Comparison to Models
The community agrees that Type Ia supernovae arise from carbon/oxygen white dwarfs undergoing thermonuclear runaway. However, the full progenitor system and the process that prompts the white dwarf to explode remain unknown. Most current models suggest that the white dwarf explodes because of intera...
