A Snapshot Survey of Nearby Supernovae with the Hubble Space Telescope

Raphael Baer-Way, Asia DeGraw, Weikang Zheng +12

Over recent decades, robotic (or highly automated) searches for supernovae (SNe) have discovered several thousand events, many of them in quite nearby galaxies (distances < 30 Mpc)…
