Summary of estimated upper limits on the mass of ablated gas from a SD companion. The estimates for SNe 1998bu and 2000cx are from Lundqvist et al. (2013), the one for SN 2001el from Mattila et al. (2005), the ones for SNe 2005am and 2005cf from Leonard (2007), and the ones for SNe 2011fe and 2014J are from this paper. The left part of the figure is for hydrogen-rich gas, and the right part for helium-dominated gas. Simulated ranges of ablated mass are marked by filled areas and arrows. For hydrogen-rich donors, red is for Liu et al. (2012) and blue for Pan et al. (2012), while for helium-dominated donors, red is for Liu et al. (2013b) and blue for Pan et al. (2012). Our limits for both SNe 2011fe and 2014J are below the simulated ranges for hydrogen-rich gas, while helium-rich donors cannot be fully ruled out, in particular not for SN 2014J, if we are guided by the simulations of Pan et al. (2012). See text for further details.
