SUMMARY OF IPTF14ATG

iPTF14atg is a thermonuclear supernova. We observed a strong and declining UV flare in iPTF14atg within a few days of its explosion. This UV flare is consistent with the supernova-companion interaction

  • signature. This observation is a strong evidence that a companion star

exists. The observations of iPTF14atg together with other recent

  • bservations strongly suggest that thermonuclear supernovae have

multiple origins.

CONCLUSION

The strong UV flare from iPTF14atg is probably from the supernova- companion collision. More observations and detailed modelings are both needed for better understanding the physics of supernova-companion collision, such as line emissions and viewing angle dependence. Type Ia supernovae probably have multiple channels. In order to determine branch fractions of different channels, better understanding to the luminosity functions of normal events, SD events and DD events is required.

QUESTIONS

Does oxygen observed in iPTF14atg from its companion star? Does it tell us about the chemical abundance of the companion star? What is the physical difference between SNe Iax and SN2002es- like events? Different types of companion stars? How can we build the luminosity function from the double degenerate channel?
