摘要:

超新星Ia是明亮的爆炸事件,可以用来估计宇宙学距离,使我们能够研究宇宙的膨胀。据了解,它们是由一颗质量比太阳大的恒星的耗尽的核心形成的白矮星的热核爆炸造成的。然而,可能导致爆炸的祖先通道是一个长期存在的争论,限制了超新星Ia作为距离指标的精确度和准确性。在这里,我们展示了HD 265435,这是一个轨道周期小于一百分钟的二元系统,由一颗白矮星和一颗热亚矮星组成--一颗剥离核心氦燃烧星。该系统的总质量为1.65+/-0.25太阳质量,超过了稳定的白矮星的最大质量。由于引力波发射,该系统将在7000万年后合并,可能引发超新星Ia事件。我们使用这种检测的地方热亚矮星-白矮星双星超新星Ia祖先的贡献的限制。

英文摘要:

Supernova Ia are bright explosive events that can be used to estimate cosmological distances, allowing us to study the expansion of the Universe. They are understood to result from a thermonuclear detonation in a white dwarf that formed from the exhausted core of a star more massive than the Sun. However, the possible progenitor channels leading to an explosion are a long-standing debate, limiting the precision and accuracy of supernova Ia as distance indicators. Here we present HD265435, a binary system with an orbital period of less than a hundred minutes, consisting of a white dwarf and a hot subdwarf -- a stripped core-helium burning star. The total mass of the system is 1.65+/-0.25 solar-masses, exceeding the Chandrasekhar limit (the maximum mass of a stable white dwarf). The system will merge due to gravitational wave emission in 70 million years, likely triggering a supernova Ia event. We use this detection to place constraints on the contribution of hot subdwarf-white dwarf binaries to supernova Ia progenitors.
