Supernovae and their host galaxies – II. The relative frequencies of supernovae types in spirals [PDF]

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2014
We present an analysis of the relative frequencies of different supernova (SN) types in spirals with various morphologies and in barred or unbarred galaxies. We use a well-defined and homogeneous sample of spiral host galaxies of 692 SNe from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey in different stages of galaxy-galaxy interaction and activity classes of nucleus ...

Late-time Optical and X-Ray Emission Evolution of the Oxygen-rich SN 1996cr

The Astrophysical Journal
When the ejecta of a supernova (SN) interact with the progenitor star's circumstellar environment, a strong shock is driven back into the ejecta, causing the material to become bright optically and in X-rays.

Long-rising Type II Supernovae in the Zwicky Transient Facility Census of the Local Universe

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
SN 1987A was an unusual hydrogen-rich core-collapse supernova originating from a blue supergiant star. Similar blue supergiant explosions remain a small family of events, and are broadly characterized by their long rises to peak.

THE STANDARDIZED CANDLE METHOD FOR TYPE II PLATEAU SUPERNOVAE [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2010
In this paper we study the "standardized candle method" using a sample of 37 nearby (z<0.06) Type II plateau supernovae having BVRI photometry and optical spectroscopy. An analytic procedure is implemented to fit light curves, color curves, and velocity curves. We find that the V-I color toward the end of the plateau can be used to estimate the host-

Shock-cooling Constraints via Early-time Observations of the Type IIb SN 2022hnt

The Astrophysical Journal
We report the results of a rapid follow-up campaign on the Type IIb supernova (SN) 2022hnt. We present a daily, multiband, photometric follow-up using the Las Cumbres Observatory, the Zwicky Transient Facility, the orbiting Swift observatory, and the ...

Radiative Acceleration of Dense Circumstellar Material in Interacting Supernovae

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Early-time light curves/spectra of some hydrogen-rich supernovae (SNe) provide solid evidence of the existence of confined, dense circumstellar matter (CSM) surrounding dying massive stars. We numerically and analytically study the radiative acceleration

Spectropolarimetric Evolution of SN 2023ixf: An Asymmetric Explosion in a Confined Aspherical Circumstellar Medium

The Astrophysical Journal
We present complete spectropolarimetric coverage of the Type II supernova (SN) 2023ixf, ranging from 1 to 120 days after explosion. Polarimetry was obtained with the Kast double spectrograph on the Shane 3 m telescope at Lick Observatory.

SN 2024aecx: A Double-peaked Rapidly Evolving Type IIb Supernova at 11 Mpc

The Astrophysical Journal
We present the results of low-resolution spectroscopic and densely sampled multiband photometric follow-up of supernova (SN) 2024aecx. The SN was discovered in the spiral galaxy NGC 3521 (distance ∼ 11 Mpc) within a day after the explosion.

Carnegie Supernova Project-II: Near-infrared Spectroscopic Diversity of Type II Supernovae [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2019
AbstractWe present 81 near-infrared (NIR) spectra of 30 Type II supernovae (SNe II) from theCarnegie Supernova Project-II(CSP-II), the largest such data set published to date. We identify a number of NIR features and characterize their evolution over time. The NIR spectroscopic properties of SNe II fall into two distinct groups.

Electron-capture Supernova Candidates from Light Curves: Implications for Their Progenitors and Explosion Properties

The Astrophysical Journal
Core-collapse supernovae are explosions of massive stars. While most massive stars end as iron-core-collapse supernovae, less massive stars are expected to explode as electron-capture supernovae (ECSNe), defining the low-mass boundary of core-collapse ...
