The (54Fe+58Ni)/56Ni ratio as a second parameter for Type Ia supernova properties
A variation of the relative content of (54Fe+58Ni) versus 56Ni may be responsible for the observed scatter of Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) about a mean relation between their intrinsic brightness and the shape of their light curve. Synthetic light curves are computed of parametrised Chandrasekhar-mas...
