Close double degenerate binaries are one of the favoured progenitor channels for type Ia supernovae, but it is unclear how many suitable systems there are in the Galaxy. We report results of a large radial velocity survey for double degenerate (DD) binaries using the UVES spectrograph at the ESO VLT (ESO SN Ia Progenitor surveY - SPY). Exposures ta...

... not produce gaps in the final co-added spectrum. Finally each spectrum was divided by the smoothed continuum. The individual spectra were rebinned to a common wavelength scale and the absorption was scaled to a "normalised telluric absorption strength". Afterwards all 50 individual telluric spectra were co-added to the template spectrum shown in Fig. ...
