Recent research by our group on the accretion and simmering phases preceding the explosion of a massive WD has shown that the central density at thermal runaway lies in the range 3.6 −6.3 ×10 9 g cm −3 for reasonable choices of accretion rate on to the WD and progenitor metallicity. In this work, we have computed one-dimensional simulations of the explosion of such WDs, with special emphasis on the chemical composition of the ejecta, which in all cases is extremely rich in neutronized isotopes of chromium ( 54 Cr) and titanium ( 50 Ti). We show that, in order to reconcile such a nucleosynthesis with the isotopic abundances of the Solar system, Chandrasekhar-mass WDs can account for at most 26 per cent of normal-luminosity SNe Ia, or at most 20 per cent of all SNe Ia.}, organization = {MICINN/AEI I + D + I PGC2018-095317-B-C21}, organization = {FEDER 'A way of doing Europe'}, organization = {INAF-mainstream project 'Type Ia Supernovae Parent Galaxies: Expected Results from LSST'}, organization = {University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli (Italy)}, organization = {'Programme National de Physique Stellaire' (PNPS) of CNRS/INSU - CEA}, organization = {Centre National D'etudes Spatiales}, organization = {ESO Scientific Visitor Programme in Garching PID2021-123110NB-I00}, publisher = {Oxford University Press}, keywords = {Hydrodynamics}, keywords = {Nuclear reactions, nucleosynthesis, abundances}, keywords = {Supernova: general}, keywords = {White dwarfs}, keywords = {Galaxies: abundances}, title = {Chandrasekhar-mass white dwarfs are the progenitors of a small fraction of Type Ia supernovae according to nucleosythesis constraints}, doi = {10.1093/mnrasl/slac103}, author = {Bravo, Eduardo and Domínguez Aguilera, María Inmaculada}, }
