A Diverse, Overlooked Population of Type Ia Supernovae Exhibiting Mid-infrared Signatures of Delayed Circumstellar Interaction by Geoffrey Mo, Kishalay De, Eli Wiston, Nayana A. J., Raffaella Margutti, Danielle Frostig, Jesper Sollerman, Yashvi Sharma, Takashi J. Moriya, Kevin B. Burdge, Jacob Jencson, Viraj R. Karambelkar, Nathan P. Lourie

“…A rare subclass of SNe Ia exhibit signatures of interaction with circumstellar material (CSM), allowing for direct constraints on companion material. While most known events show evidence for dense nearby CSM identified via peak-light spectroscopy (as SNe Ia-CSM), targeted late-time searches have revealed a handful of cases exhibiting delayed CSM interaction with detached shells. …”
