AbstractWe present a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) of the V band light-curves of a sample of more than 100 nearby Core collapse supernovae (CC SNe) from [Anderson et al. (2014)]. We used different reference epochs in order to extract the common properties of these light-curves and searched for correlations to some physical parameters such as the burning of 56Ni, and morphological light-curve parameters such as the length of the plateau, the stretch of the light-curve, and the decrements in brightness after maximum and after the plateau. We also used these similarities to create SNe II light-curve templates that will be used in the future for standardize these objects and determine cosmological distances.

AbstractWe present R-Band light curves of Type II supernovae (SNe) from the Caltech Core Collapse Program (CCCP). With the exception of interacting (Type IIn) SNe and rare events with long rise times, we find that most light curve shapes belong to one of three distinct classes: plateau, slowly declining and rapidly declining events. The latter class is composed solely of Type IIb SNe which present similar light curve shapes to those of SNe Ib, suggesting, perhaps, similar progenitor channels. We do not find any intermediate light curves, implying that these subclasses are unlikely to reflect variance of continuous parameters, but rather might result from physically distinct progenitor systems, strengthening the suggestion of a binary origin for at least some stripped SNe. We find a large plateau luminosity range for SNe IIP, while the plateau lengths seem rather uniform at approximately 100 days. We present also host galaxy trends from the Palomar Transien Factory (PTF) core collapse SN sample, which augment some of the photometric results.

ABSTRACT We present observations and analysis of PSN J17292918+7542390, a low-luminosity Type II-P supernova (LL SN IIP). The observed sample of such events is still low, and their nature is still under debate. Such SNe are similar to SN 2005cs, a well-observed LL Type II-P event, having low expansion velocities, and small ejected 56Ni mass. We have developed a robust and relatively fast Monte Carlo code that fits semi-analytic models to light curves of core-collapse SNe. This allows the estimation of the most important physical parameters, like the radius of the progenitor star, the mass of the ejected envelope, the mass of the radioactive nickel synthesized during the explosion, among others. PSN J17292918+7542390 has $R_0 = 91_{-70}^{+119} \times 10^{11} \, \text{cm}$, $M_\text{ej} = 9.89_{-1.00}^{+2.10} \, \mathrm{ M}_{\odot }$, $E_{\mbox{kin}} = 0.65_{-0.18}^{+0.19} \, \text{foe}$, and $v_{\mbox{exp}} = 3332_{-347}^{+216}$ km s−1, for its progenitor radius, ejecta mass, kinetic energy, and expansion velocity, respectively. The initial nickel mass of the PSN J17292918+7542390 turned out to be $1.55_{-0.70}^{+0.75} \times 10^{-3} \, \mathrm{M}_{\odot }$. The measured photospheric velocity at the earliest observed phase is 7000 km s−1. As far as we can tell based on the small population of observed LL SNe IIP, the determined values are typical for these events.

AbstractWe present an analysis of V-band light-curves morphologies of type II supernovae (SNII). This investigation is achieved through photometry of more than 100 SNe including a first analysis of SNII data obtained by the Carnegie Supernova Project (CSP). We define the important observables and present correlations between SNe absolute magnitudes and light-curve decline rates: we find that brighter SNII tend to have faster declining light-curves at all epochs.
