A COMPACT DEGENERATE PRIMARY-STAR PROGENITOR OF SN 2011fe (2011, unknown): “…some of the best constraints on the progenitor system of an SN Ia: coupled with a well-measured distance modulus to M101 (DM=29.05 ± 0.23 mag; Shappee & Stanek 2011), the non-detection of a quiescent counterpart at optical, infrared, mid-infrared and X-ray wavebands were used to placed…”
Hubble Space Telescope spectra of the type Ia supernova SN 2011fe: a tail of low-density, high-velocity material with Z < Z⊙ (2013, background): “Thanks to the proximity of M101 (≃ 6.4Mpc, µ = 29.04 ± 0.19; Shappee & Stanek 2011), SN 2011fe was the brightest SN Ia in the night sky in the ‘CCD era’, and a comprehensive monitoring campaign carriedout across a broad range of wavelengths will make it the best-ever studied SN Ia.

EVLA OBSERVATIONS CONSTRAIN THE ENVIRONMENT AND PROGENITOR SYSTEM OF Type Ia SUPERNOVA 2011fe (2012, background): “On 2011 August 24 UT, the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF; Law et al. 2009) discovered an optical transient within the nearby spiral galaxy M101 at a distance of 6.4 Mpc (Shappee & Stanek 2011; Figure 1).”
CONSTRAINING TYPE Ia SUPERNOVA MODELS: SN 2011fe AS A TEST CASE (2012, background): “Assuming a distance to M101 of 6.4Mpc (Shappee & Stanek 2011), SN 2011fe is a normal SN Ia with MB,max = −19.13, having produced ∼0.6M⊙ of 56Ni (Stritzinger et al. 2006).”
