Knowledge of the progenitors of core-collapse supernovae is a fundamental component in
understanding the explosions. The recent progress in finding such stars is reviewed. The …

We present a public catalog of transients from the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) Bright
Transient Survey, a magnitude-limited (m< 19 mag in either the g or r filter) survey for …

The hot and dense core formed in the collapse of a massive star is a powerful source of
hypothetical feebly interacting particles such as sterile neutrinos, dark photons, axionlike …

High-quality collections of Type II supernova (SN) light curves are scarce because they
evolve for hundreds of days, making follow-up observations time consuming and often …

This is the second paper of a series in which we present new measurements of the observed
rates of supernovae (SNe) in the local Universe, determined from the Lick Observatory …

We present an analysis of the diversity of V-band light-curves of hydrogen-rich type II
supernovae. Analyzing a sample of 116 supernovae, several magnitude measurements are …

ABSTRACT The Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) is a wide-field experiment designed to
investigate the optical transient and variable sky on time scales from minutes to years. PTF …

In the last 20 years, modern wide-field surveys discovered a new class of peculiar transients,
which lie in the luminosity gap between standard supernovae and classical novae. These …

We present the results of a 10.5-yr, volume-limited (28-Mpc) search for supernova (SN)
progenitor stars. In doing so we compile all SNe discovered within this volume (132, of …

This chapter describes the current classification scheme of supernovae (SNe). This scheme
has evolved over many decades and now includes numerous SN Types and sub-types …
