The birth place of the type Ic Supernova 2007gr
R. Mark Crockett, Justyn R. Maund, Stephen J. Smartt +8
We report our attempts to locate the progenitor of the peculiar type Ic SN 2007gr in HST pre-explosion images of the host galaxy, NGC 1058. Aligning adaptive optics Altair/NIRI ima…
A deeper search for the progenitor of the Type Ic Supernova 2002ap
R. M. Crockett, S. J. Smartt, J. J. Eldridge +6
(Abridged) We present a search for the progenitor star of the Type Ic Supernova 2002ap in deep, high quality pre-explosion observations taken with the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescop…
A Spitzer Space Telescope Study of SN 2003gd: Still No Direct Evidence that Core-Collapse Supernovae are Major Dust Factories
W. P. S. Meikle, S. Mattila, A. Pastorello +10
We present a new, detailed analysis of late-time mid-infrared (IR) observations of the Type II-P supernova (SN) 2003gd. At about 16 months after the explosion, the mid-IR flux is c…
SN 2003du: 480 days in the Life of a Normal Type Ia Supernova
V. Stanishev, A. Goobar, S. Benetti +29
An extensive set of optical and NIR photometry and low-resolution spectra the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2003du was obtained using a number of facilities. The observations started 1…
High resolution spectroscopy of the line emission from the inner circumstellar ring of SN 1987A and its hot spots
Per Groeningsson, Claes Fransson, Peter Lundqvist +8
We discuss high resolution VLT/UVES observations (FWHM ~ 6 km/s) from October 2002 (day ~5700 past explosion) of the shock interaction of SN 1987A and its circumstellar ring. A neb…
A giant outburst two years before the core-collapse of a massive star
A. Pastorello, S. J. Smartt, S. Mattila +32
The death of massive stars produces a variety of supernovae, which are linked to the structure of the exploding stars. The detection of several precursor stars of Type II supernova…
