The imprint of a symbiotic binary progenitor on the properties of Kepler's supernova remnant
We present a model for the type Ia supernova remnant (SNR) of SN 1604, also known as Kepler's SNR. We find that its main features can be explained by a progenitor model of a symbiotic binary consisting of a white dwarf and an AGB donor star with an initial mass of 4-5 M ⊙. The slow, nitrogen-ri...
