Theoretical prediction of gamma-rays from SN 1991T.
Abstract
We calculate the evolution of γ-ray spectra from the recent unique type Ia supernova SN 1991T based on the late detonation models. If a similar supernova occurs at a distance <= 5 Mpc, γ-ray lines from the decays of ^56^Ni and ^56^Co in the outermost layers can be observed with GRO significantly earlier than normal type Ia Supernovae.
