摘要：

We present Keck LRIS spectroscopy and g-band photometry of the metal-poor, low-luminosity host galaxy of the super-Chandrasekhar-mass Type Ia supernova SN 2007if. Deep imaging of the host reveals its apparent magnitude to be m(g) = 23.15 +/- 0.06, which at the spectroscopically measured redshift of z(helio) = 0.07450 +/- 0.00015 corresponds to an absolute magnitude of M-g = -14.45 +/- 0.06. Galaxy g - r color constrains the mass-to-light ratio, giving a host stellar mass estimate of log(M-*/M-circle dot) = 7.32 +/- 0.17. Balmer absorption in the stellar continuum, along with the strength of the 4000 angstrom break, constrains the age of the dominant starburst in the galaxy to be t(burst) = 123(-77)(+165) Myr, corresponding to a main-sequence turnoff mass of M/M-circle dot = 4.6(-1.4)(+2.6). Using the R-23 method of calculating metallicity from the fluxes of strong emission lines, we determine the host oxygen abundance to be 12 + log(O/H)(KK04) = 8.01 +/- 0.09, significantly lower than any previously reported spectroscopically measured Type Ia supernova host galaxy metallicity. Our data show that SN 2007if is very likely to have originated from a young, metal-poor progenitor.
