Evolving into a remnant: optical observations of SN 1978K at three decades

H. Kuncarayakti, K. Maeda, J. P. Anderson +4

We present new optical observations of the supernova SN 1978K, obtained in 2007 and 2014 with the Very Large Telescope. We discover that the supernova has not faded significantly,…

A Hubble diagram from Type II Supernovae based solely on photometry: the Photometric-Colour Method

T. de Jaeger, S. González-Gaitán, J. P. Anderson +20

We present a Hubble diagram of type II supernovae using corrected magnitudes derived only from photometry, with no input of spectral information. We use a data set from the Carnegi…

Characterising the environments of supernovae with MUSE

L. Galbany, J. P. Anderson, F. F Rosales-Ortega +10

We present a statistical analysis of the environments of 11 supernovae (SNe) which occurred in 6 nearby galaxies (z 0.016). All galaxies were observed with MUSE, the hig…

The Progenitor of the Type IIb SN 2008ax Revisited

Gastón Folatelli, Melina C. Bersten, Hanindyo Kuncarayakti +3

Hubble Space Telescope observations of the site of the supernova (SN) 2008ax obtained in 2011 and 2013 reveal that the possible progenitor object detected in pre-explosion images w…

On the triple peaks of SNHunt248 in NGC 5806

E. Kankare, R. Kotak, A. Pastorello +19

We present our findings on a supernova (SN) impostor, SNHunt248, based on optical and near-IR data spanning 15 yrs before discovery, to 1 yr post-discovery. The light c…

Type IIb Supernova 2013df Entering Into An Interaction Phase: A Link between the Progenitor and the Mass Loss

K. Maeda, T. Hattori, D. Milisavljevic +23

We report the late-time evolution of Type IIb Supernova (SN IIb) 2013df. SN 2013df showed a dramatic change in its spectral features at ~1 year after the explosion. Early on it sho…

Statistical studies of supernova environments

Joseph P. Anderson, Phil A. James, Stacey M. Habergham +2

Investigations of the environments of SNe allow statistical constraints to be made on progenitor properties. We review progress that has been made in this field. Pixel statistics u…

Nebular phase observations of the type-Ib supernova iPTF13bvn favour a binary progenitor

H. Kuncarayakti, K. Maeda, M. C. Bersten +9

Aims. We present and analyse late-time observations of the type-Ib supernova with possible pre-supernova progenitor detection, iPTF13bvn, taken at 300 days after the explosio…
