A significantly off-centre 56Ni distribution for the low-luminosity type Ia supernova SN 2016brx from the 100IAS survey

A significantly off-centre 56Ni distribution for the low-luminosity type Ia supernova SN 2016brx from the 100IAS survey

We present nebular-phase spectra of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2016brx, a member of the 1991bg-like subclass that lies at the faint end of the SN Ia luminosity function. Nebular spectra are available for only three other 1991bg-like SNe, and their Co line centers are all within <~ 500 …
