Abstract (from CDS):

We present deep Hubble Space Telescope imaging of the nearby Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2011fe obtained 11.5 yr after explosion. No emission is detected at the SN location to a 1σ (3σ) limit of F555W > 30.2 (29.0) mag, or equivalently MV > 1.2 (-0.1) mag, neglecting the distance uncertainty to M101. We constrain the presence of donor stars impacted by the SN ejecta with the strictest limits thus far on compact (i.e., $\mathrm{log}\,g\gtrsim 4$) companions. H-rich zero-age main-sequence companions with masses ≥2 M⊙ are excluded, a significant improvement upon the preexplosion imaging limit of ≈5 M⊙. Main-sequence He stars with masses ≥1.0 M⊙ and subgiant He stars with masses ≤0.8 M⊙ are also disfavored by our late-time imaging. Synthesizing our limits on postimpact donors with previous constraints from preexplosion imaging, early-time radio and X-ray observations, and nebular-phase spectroscopy, essentially all formation channels for SN 2011fe invoking a nondegenerate donor star at the time of explosion are unlikely.
