VLT detection of a red supergiant progenitor of the type IIP supernova 2008bk
S. Mattila, S. J. Smartt, J. J. Eldridge +3
We report the identification of a source coincident with the position of the nearby type II-P supernova (SN) 2008bk in high quality optical and near-infrared pre-explosion images f…
The death of massive stars - I. Observational constraints on the progenitors of type II-P supernovae
S. J. Smartt, J. J. Eldridge, R. M. Crockett +1
We present the results of a 10.5 yr, volume limited (28 Mpc) search for supernova (SN) progenitor stars. We compile all SNe discovered within this volume (132, of which 27% are typ…
The type IIb SN 2008ax: spectral and light curve evolution
A. Pastorello, M. M. Kasliwal, R. M. Crockett +12
We present spectroscopy and photometry of the He-rich supernova (SN) 2008ax. The early-time spectra show prominent P-Cygni H lines, which decrease with time and disappear completel…
