Ejecta Wakes from Companion Interaction in Type Ia Supernova Remnants

Type Ia supernovae are triggered by accretion onto a white dwarf from a companion that is most likely Roche lobe–filling at the time of the explosion. The collision between the ejecta and a surviving companion carves out a conical wake, which could manifest as an asymmetry when the ejecta reaches th...
