On the Evolution and Appearance of a Surviving Companion after a Type Ia Supernova Explosion

Abstract:

One promising method to test progenitor models for Type Ia supernovae is to identify surviving companion stars in historical supernova remnants. A surviving companion will have been strongly affected by its interaction with the supernova ejecta. Here we systematically explore the evolution and appearance of a typical companion star that has been stripped and heated by the supernova interaction during the post-impact re-equilibration phase. We show that, depending on the amount of heating and ...
