SN 2023ehl: A Normal Type Ia Supernova with High-velocity Features

SN 2023ehl, a normal Type Ia supernova with a typical decline rate, was discovered in the galaxy UGC 11555 and offers valuable insights into the explosion mechanisms of white dwarfs. We present a detailed analysis of SN 2023ehl, including spectroscopic and photometric observations. The supernova exh...

description SN 2023ehl, a normal Type Ia supernova with a typical decline rate, was discovered in the galaxy UGC 11555 and offers valuable insights into the explosion mechanisms of white dwarfs. We present a detailed analysis of SN 2023ehl, including spectroscopic and photometric observations. The supernova exhibits high-velocity features in its ejecta, which are crucial for understanding the physical processes during the explosion. We compared the light curves of SN 2023ehl with other well-observed Type Ia supernovae, finding similarities in their evolution. The line strength ratio R (Si ii ) was calculated to be 0.17 ± 0.04, indicating a higher photospheric temperature compared to other supernovae. The maximum quasi-bolometric luminosity was determined to be 1.52 × 10 ^43 erg s ^−1 , and the synthesized ^56 Ni mass was estimated at 0.77 ± 0.05 M _⊙ . The photospheric velocity at B -band maximum light was measured as 10,150 ± 240 km s ^−1 , classifying SN 2023ehl as a normal velocity Type Ia supernova. Our analysis suggests that SN 2023ehl aligns more with both the gravitationally confined detonation, providing a comprehensive view of the diversity and complexity of Type Ia supernovae.
