The explosion energy and the ejecta mass of a type IIP supernova (SN IIP) derived from hydrodynamic simulations are principal parameters of the explosion theory. However, the number of SNe IIP studied by hydrodynamic modeling is small. Moreover, some doubts exist in regard to the reliability of derived SN IIP parameters. The well-observed type IIP SN 2012A will be studied via hydrodynamic modeling. Their early spectra will be checked for a presence of the ejecta clumpiness. Other observational effects of clumpiness will be explored. Supernova parameters are determined by means of the standard hydrodynamic modeling. The early hydrogen Halpha and Hbeta lines are used for the clumpiness diagnostics. The modified hydrodynamic code is employed to study the clumpiness effect in the light curve and expansion kinematics. We found that SN 20012A is the result of the explosion of a red supergiant with the radius of 715 Rsun. The explosion energy is 5.25x10^50 erg, the ejecta mass is 13.1 Msun, and the total Ni-56 mass is 0.012 Msun. The estimated mass of a progenitor, a main-sequence star, is 15 Msun. The Halpha and Hbeta lines in early spectra indicate that outer ejecta are clumpy. Hydrodynamic simulations show that the clumpiness modifies the early light curve and increases the maximum velocity of the outer layers. The pre-SN 2012A was a normal red supergiant with the progenitor mass of about 15 Msun. The outer layers of ejecta indicate the clumpy structure. The clumpiness of the external layers can increase the maximum expansion velocity.

We present the results the photometric observations of the Type IIP supernova SN 2012aw obtained for the time interval from 7 till 371 days after the explosion. Using the previously published values of the photospheric velocities weve computed the hydrodynamic model which simultaneously reproduced the photometry observations and velocity measurements. The model was calculated with the multi-energy group radiation hydrodynamics code STELLA. We found the parameters of the pre-supernova: radius $R = 500 R_odot$, nickel mass $M(^{56}$Ni$)$ $sim 0.06 M_odot$, pre-supernova mass $25 M_odot$, mass of ejected envelope $23.6 M_odot$, explosion energy $E sim 2 times 10^{51}$ erg. The model progenitor mass $M=25 M_odot$ significantly exceeds the upper limit mass $M=17 M_odot$, obtained from analysis the pre-SNe observations. This result confirms once more that the Red Supergiant Problem must be resolved by stellar evolution and supernova explosion theories in interaction with observations.
We present new optical and near infrared (NIR) photometry and spectroscopy of the type IIP supernova, SN 2004et. In combination with already published data, this provides one of the most complete studies of optical and NIR data for any type IIP SN from just after explosion to +500 days. The contribution of the NIR flux to the bolometric light curve is estimated to increase from 15% at explosion to around 50% at the end of the plateau and then declines to 40% at 300 days. SN 2004et is one of the most luminous IIP SNe which has been well studied, and with a luminosity of log L = 42.3 erg/s, it is 2 times brighter than SN 1999em. We provide parametrised bolometric corrections as a function of time for SN 2004et and three other IIP SNe that have extensive optical and NIR data, which can be used as templates for future events. We compare the physical parameters of SN 2004et with those of other IIP SNe and find kinetic energies spanning the range of 10^50-10^51 ergs. We compare the ejected masses calculated from hydrodynamic models with the progenitor masses and limits derived from prediscovery images. Some of the ejected mass estimates are significantly higher than the progenitor mass estimates, with SN 2004et showing perhaps the most serious mass discrepancy. With current models, it appears difficult to reconcile 100 day plateau lengths and high expansion velocities with the low ejected masses of 5-6 Msun implied from 7-8 Msun progenitors. The nebular phase is studied using very late time HST photometry, along with optical and NIR spectroscopy. The light curve shows a clear flattening at 600 days in the optical and the NIR, which is likely due to the ejecta impacting on the CSM. We further show that the [Oi] 6300,6364 Angstrom line strengths of four type IIP SNe imply ejected oxygen masses of 0.5-1.5 Msun.
The enigmatic type IIP SN 2016X demonstrates the unprecedented asphericity in the nebular H-alpha line profile, the absence of nebular [O I] emission, and the unusual occultation effect due to the internal dust. The hydrodynamic modelling of the bolometric light curve and expansion velocities suggests that the event is an outcome of the massive star explosion that ejected 28 Msun with the kinetic energy of 1.7x10^51 erg and 0.03 Msun of radioactive Ni-56. We recover the bipolar distribution of Ni-56 from the H-alpha profile via the simulation of the emissivity produced by non-spherical Ni-56 ejecta. The conspicuous effect of the dust absorption in the H-alpha profile rules out the occultation by the dusty sphere or dusty thick disk but turns out consistent with the thin dusty disk-like structure in the plane perpendicular to the bipolar axis. We speculate that the absence of the nebular [O I] emission might originate from the significant cooling of the oxygen-rich matter mediated by CO and SiO molecules.
The progenitor of the Type IIP SN 2008bk was discovered in pre-explosion griIYJHKs images, acquired with European Southern Observatory Very Large Telescope FORS, HAWK-I and ISAAC instruments and the Gemini GMOS-S instrument. The wealth of pre-explosion observations makes the progenitor of this SN one of the best studied, since the detection of the progenitor of SN1987A. Previous analyses of the properties of the progenitor were hampered by the limited quality of the photometric calibration of the pre-explosion images and the crowded nature of the field containing the SN. We present new late-time observations of the site of SN2008bk acquired with identical instrument and filter configurations as the pre-explosion observations, and confirm that the previously identified red supergiant star was the progenitor of this SN and has now disappeared. Image subtraction techniques were used to conduct precise photometry of the now missing progenitor, independently of blending from any nearby stars. The nature of the surrounding stellar population and their contribution to the flux attributed to the progenitor in the pre-explosion images are probed using HST WFC3 UVIS/IR observations. In comparison with MARCS synthetic spectra, we find the progenitor was a highly reddened RSG with luminosity log (L/Lsun)=4.84+/-0.11, corresponding to an initial mass of Minit=12.9+/-1.7Msun. The temperature of the progenitor was hotter than previously expected for RSGs (T ~ 4330K), but consistent with new temperatures derived for RSGs using SED fitting techniques. We show that there is evidence for significant extinction of the progenitor, possibly arising in the CSM; but that this dust yields a similar reddening law to dust found in the ISM (E(B-V)=0.77 with Rv=3.1).

Type IIP supernovae (SNe IIP), which represent the most common class of core-collapse (CC) SNe, show a rapid increase in continuum polarization just after entering the tail phase. This feature can be explained by a highly asymmetric helium core, which is exposed when the hydrogen envelope becomes transparent. Here we report the case of a SN IIP (SN~2017gmr) that shows an unusually early rise of the polarization, $gtrsim 30$ days before the start of the tail phase. This implies that SN~2017gmr is an SN IIP that has very extended asphericity. The asymmetries are not confined to the helium core, but reach out to a significant part of the outer hydrogen envelope, hence clearly indicating a marked intrinsic diversity in the aspherical structure of CC explosions. These observations provide new constraints on the explosion mechanism, where viable models must be able to produce such extended deviations from spherical symmetry, and account for the observed geometrical diversity.
