Scientific paper

The frequency of supernovae of type Ia per unit infrared luminosity is found to be an order of magnitude higher in late-type spirals than it is in early-type galaxies. Presently available data also suggest, but do not yet prove, that the SN Ia rate in amorphous/I0 galaxies may be even higher than it is in normal late-type spirals. These results might be accounted for by assuming that the rate at which intermediate-age binaries containing white dwarfs evolve into SN Ia is much higher than that for old white-dwarf binaries. The implications of this result for the evolution of elliptical galaxies are briefly discussed.
