Overview





Core-collapse SNe drive the chemical evolution
of galaxies, and formation through feedback
Test stellar evolution theory and NS/BH
formation scenarios
Linked to the formation of long duration GRBs
Are the ideas of SNe progenitor stars correct ?
Are SNe explosion and lightcurve models
consistent ?

We would have detected
massive evolved stars
Either a star of 120-150M
or
More likely a lower mass
object in a binary
Four other Ib/c SNe, all
with similar luminosity

Type Ia SNe - 7 events,
no object/cluster.

Conclusions






SN II-P: most common type, red supergiant progenitors
(~M0Ib 8-12M)
Detections and limits on 15 II-P SNe imply they only come
from RSG stars with MZAMS<15M
No evidence for BH forming Sne
Within 3 years project  ~30 progenitors (HST SNAP +
VLT/Gemini NIR purpose built archive)
Optical/NIR monitoring of SNe gives 56Ni - probe of
explosion
Direct constraints on all core-collapse SNe types

Could progenitors be dusty red
supergiants, some of higher
luminosity ?
SNe are clearly not reddened
But could be destroyed in
explosion (e.g. Meikle & Graham
1986)?

K-band limit implies MK>-9.5 or
