No stripped companion material in the nebular spectrum of the "two-component" Type Ia supernova ASASSN-18bt.

Abstract (from CDS):

We analyze a Keck I/Low Resolution Imager and Spectrograph nebular spectrum taken 268 days after B-band maximum of ASASSN-18bt (SN 2018oh), a Type Ia supernova observed by K2 at the time of explosion. ASASSN-18bt exhibited a two-component rise to peak brightness, possibly the signature of an interaction between the supernova ejecta and a large (>=20 R☉) nearby, non-degenerate companion. We search for emission signatures of stripped material from a non-degenerate companion in the nebular spectrum and find no evidence for any unbound material. We place an upper limit of <0.006 M☉ on the amount of stripped/ablated H-rich material that could go undetected in our spectrum, effectively ruling out all hydrogen-rich donor stars. Additionally, we place a more tentative upper limit on He I emission in the observed spectrum of <=0.02 M☉ which also rules out helium star companions. Our deep limits rule out a non-degenerate companion as the explanation for the early-time feature in ASASSN-18bt.
