SEARCH FOR SURVIVING COMPANIONS IN SUPERNOVA REMNANTS

Type Ia supernovae are considered to be "standardizable" candles when measuring the distance of distant objects and thus play an important role in cosmology. However, the nature of their progenitor systems remains unclear. We investigate the impact of Type Ia supernova ejecta on binary companions within the single-degenerate scenario and subsequent evolution of post-impact surviving stars.
