We present new photometry of SN 2021aefx in NGC 1566, including the first detection of any Type Ia supernova at >15 μm. We measure the temporal evolution of the emission properties and find a higher decay rate than expected from radioactive decay. This suggests flux shifting to >14 μm, which can be directly tested with future JWST observations.
We present new 0.3-21 mu m photometry of SN 2021aefx in the spiral galaxy NGC 1566 at +357 days after B-band maximum, including the first detection of any Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) at >15 mu m. These observations follow earlier JWST observations of SN 2021aefx at +255 days after the time of maximum brightness, allowing us to probe the temporal evolution of the emission properties. We measure the fraction of flux emerging at different wavelengths and its temporal evolution. Additionally, the integrated 0.3-14 mu m decay rate of Delta m (0.3-14) = 1.35 +/- 0.05 mag/100 days is higher than the decline rate from the radioactive decay of Co-56 of similar to 1.2 mag/100 days. The most plausible explanation for this discrepancy is that flux is shifting to >14 mu m, and future JWST observations of SNe Ia will be able to directly test this hypothesis. However, models predicting nonradiative energy loss cannot be excluded with the present data.
