Over the last 15 years, the supernova community has endeavoured to directly identify
progenitor stars for core-collapse supernovae discovered in nearby galaxies. These …

To place core-collapse supernovae (SNe) in context with the evolution of massive stars, it is
necessary to determine their stellar origins. I describe the direct identification of SN …

Literature data are collated for 38 stripped-envelope core-collapse supernovae (SE SNe; ie
SNe IIb, Ib, Ic and Ic-BL) that have good light-curve coverage in more than one optical band …

JCW had long wanted to write a new monograph on supernovae. Despite an immense
explosion in the literature and many review articles, there had not been one since that of …

Stripped-envelope (SE) supernovae (SNe) include H-poor (Type IIb), H-free (Type Ib), and
He-free (Type Ic) events thought to be associated with the deaths of massive stars. The exact …

Context. We investigate two stripped-envelope supernovae (SNe) discovered in the nearby
galaxy NGC 5806 by the (intermediate) Palomar Transient Factory [(i) PTF]. These SNe …

Neutron stars and stellar-mass black holes are the remnants of massive star explosions.
Most massive stars reside in close binary systems, and the interplay between the companion …

Context. The post-main-sequence evolution of massive stars is very sensitive to many
parameters of the stellar models. Key parameters are the mixing processes, the metallicity …

We present the PMAS/PPak Integral-field Supernova hosts COmpilation (PISCO), which
comprises integral field spectroscopy (IFS) of 232 supernova (SN) host galaxies that hosted …

Following our recent work on Type II supernovae (SNe), we present a set of 1D nonlocal
thermodynamic equilibrium radiative transfer calculations for nebular-phase Type Ibc SNe …
