A metallicity study of 1987A-like supernova host galaxies
F. Taddia, J. Sollerman, A. Razza +6
The origin of the blue supergiant (BSG) progenitor of Supernova (SN) 1987A has long been debated, along with the role that its sub-solar metallicity played. We now have a sample of…
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…
The Type II supernovae 2006V and 2006au: two SN 1987A-like events
F. Taddia, M. D. Stritzinger, J. Sollerman +11
Supernova 1987A revealed that a blue supergiant (BSG) star can end its life as a core-collapse supernova (SN). SN 1987A and other similar objects exhibit properties that distinguis…
On the progenitor and early evolution of the type II supernova 2009kr
M. Fraser, K. Takats, A. Pastorello +13
We report the identification of a source coincident with SN 2009kr in HST pre-explosion images. The object appears to be a single point source with an intrinsic colour V-I = 1.1 an…
