Stable nickel production in type Ia supernovae: A smoking gun for the progenitor mass?
Context. At present, there are strong indications that white dwarf (WD) stars with masses well below the Chandrasekhar limit (MCh1.4 Ma) contribute a significant fraction of SN Ia progenitors. The relative fraction of stable iron-group elements synthesized in the explosion has been suggested as a po...
