The progenitors of type Ia supernovae: what can we learn from the circumstellar medium around single degenerate systems?

<p>While the progenitors of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) have long been thought to be thermonuclear explosions of white dwarf stars, what triggers the explosion are still a topic of debate. This thesis considers constraints on single-degenerate progenitors of SNe Ia based on the presence of a R...
