Late-time, Mid-IR Photometry of SN 2011fe
Abstract
We imaged the nearby, type Ia supernova 2011fe (aka PTF11kly) with the IRAC camera on board the Spitzer Space Telescope on 2013 February 25 (UT), 534 days after maximum light. The supernova is not detected in CH1 (3.6 micron) and we estimate a flux limit of <7 microJy. However, the supernova remains visible in CH2 (4.5 micron) with a flux of 16+/-4 microJy.
