| Popis: | Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are likely the thermonuclear explosions of carbon-oxygen white-dwarf stars, but their progenitor systems remain elusive. A few theoretical scenarios for the progenitor systems have been suggested, which have been shown to agree with some observational properties of SNe Ia. However, several computational challenges prohibit a robust comparison to the observations. We focus on the observed $t_0-M_\text{Ni56}$ relation, where $t_0$ (the $\gamma$-rays' escape time from the ejecta) is positively correlated with $M_\text{Ni56}$ (the synthesized $^{56}$Ni mass). Comparing to the $t_0-M_\text{Ni56}$ relation bypasses the need for radiation transfer calculations, as the value of $t_0$ can be directly inferred from the ejecta. We show that all known SNe Ia models fail to reproduce the observed $t_0-M_\text{Ni56}$ correlation. Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:2008.08592 |
