0 Supernova Types and Rates ∗
We review the basic properties of the different supernova types identified in the current taxonomy, with emphasis on the more recent developments. To help orienting in the variegate zoo, the optical photometric and spectroscopic properties of the different supernova types are presented in a number of summary figures. We also report the latest estimates of the supernova rates and stress the need...
متن کاملNear-IR search for lensed supernovae behind galaxy clusters
Aims. Powerful gravitational telescopes in the form of massive galaxy clusters can be used to enhance the light collecting power over a limited field of view by about an order of magnitude in flux. This effect is exploited here to increase the depth of a survey for lensed supernovae at near-IR wavelengths. Methods. We present a pilot supernova search programme conducted with the ISAAC camera at...
متن کاملAn Hst Search for Supernovae Accompanying X-ray Flashes
We present the results from an Hubble Space Telescope/ACS search for supernovae associated with Xray flashes 020903, 040701, 040812 and 040916. We find strong evidence that XRF020903 (z = 0.25) was associated with a SN 1998bw-like supernova and confirm this using optical spectroscopy at t ∼ 25 days. We find no evidence, however, for SN1998bw-like supernovae associated with the other three event...
متن کاملA Review of the High-redshift Supernova Searches
Observations show that Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) form a homogeneous class of objects. They share similar spectroscopic evolution, light-curve shapes, and peak absolute magnitudes. The slight departures from homogeneity that are observed can be used to produce a “calibrated candle” with corrected magnitudes with even smaller dispersion. The existence of this intrinsically bright distance indic...
متن کاملI . Search for Light Echoes
We have used FORS1 at the ESO VLT to search for light echoes in imaging polarimetry from four historical supernovæ in the face-on nearby spiral galaxy M83 (NGC 5236). No echoes were detected around our targets (SN 1923A, SN 1945B, SN 1950B and SN 1957D). This implies that the interstellar medium in their environs is rather tenuous (a few particles per cm), possibly as a result of previous super...
