Possible binary progenitors for the type Ib supernova iPTF13bvn

J. J. Eldridge, Morgan Fraser, Justyn R. Maund +1

Cao et al. (2013) reported a possible progenitor detection for the type Ib supernovae iPTF13bvn for the first time. We find that the progenitor is in fact brighter than the magnitu…

The death of massive stars - II. Observational constraints on the progenitors of type Ibc supernovae

John J. Eldridge, Morgan Fraser, Stephen J. Smartt +2

The progenitors of many type II core-collapse supernovae have now been identified directly on pre-discovery imaging. Here we present an extensive search for the progenitors of type…

On how leakage can affect the Star Formation Rate estimation using Halpha luminosity

M. Relano, R. C. Jr. Kennicutt, J. J. Eldridge +2

We present observational evidence that leakage of ionising photons from star-forming regions can affect the quantification of the star formation rate (SFR) in galaxies. This effect…

Red and dead: The progenitor of SN 2012aw in M95

M. Fraser, J. R. Maund, S. J. Smartt +17

Core-collapse supernovae (SNe) are the spectacular finale to massive stellar evolution. In this Letter, we identify a progenitor for the nearby core-collapse SN 2012aw in both grou…

Binary progenitor models of type IIb supernovae

J. S. W. Claeys, S. E. de Mink, O. R. Pols +2

Massive stars that lose their hydrogen-rich envelope down to a few tenths of a solar mass explode as extended type IIb supernovae, an intriguing subtype that links the hydrogen-ric…

SN 2009md: Another faint supernova from a low mass progenitor

M. Fraser, M. Ergon, J. J. Eldridge +21

We present adaptive optics imaging of the core collapse supernova (SN) 2009md, which we use together with archival \emph{Hubble Space Telescope} data to identify a coincident proge…
