These age distributions put constraints on the progenitor masses of the supernovae that produced 199 of the remnants. The other 38 show no evidence for having a young progenitor and are therefore good Type Ia SNR candidates. Starting from Hubble Space Telescope broadband imaging, we measured resolved stellar photometry of seven archival WFC3/UVIS fields in F336W, F438W, and F814W. We generate color-magnitude diagrams of the stars within 50pc of each SNR and fit them with stellar evolution models to obtain the population ages. From these ages we infer the progenitor mass that corresponds to the lifetime of the most prominent age within the past 50Myr. In this sample, there are 47 SNRs with best-fit progenitor masses >15M_{sun}_, and 5 of these are >15M_{sun}_ at 84% confidence. This is the largest collection of high-mass progenitors to date, including our highest-mass progenitor inference found so far, with a constraint of <8Myr. Overall, the distribution of progenitor masses has a power-law index of -3.0_-0.7_^+0.2^, steeper than Salpeter initial mass function (-2.35). It remains unclear whether the reason for the low number of high-mass progenitors is due to the difficulty of finding and measuring such objects or because only a fraction of very massive stars produce supernovae.2019ApJ...881...54Whttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJ/881/54CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toB/hst : HST Archived Exposures Catalog (STScI, 2007)J/ApJ/695/580 : Oxygen abundance in M83 (Bresolin+, 2009)J/ApJ/703/614 : UV star-forming regions in M31 (Kang+, 2009)J/MNRAS/395/1409 : Type II-P SN progenitor constraints (Smartt+, 2009)J/AJ/144/142 : HST photometry of young stellar pop. in M31 (Bianchi+, 2012)J/ApJS/203/8 : Optical SNR candidates in M83 (Blair+, 2012)J/ApJ/788/55 : HST/WFC3 SNR discoveries in M83 (NGC5236) (Blair+, 2014)J/ApJ/795/170 : Sample SNRs for M31 and M33 (Jennings+, 2014)J/ApJS/212/21 : A deep Chandra ACIS survey of M83 (Long+, 2014)J/ApJS/215/9 : PHAT X.
