We present contemporaneous optical and infrared photometric observations of the type IIn SN 1998S covering the period between 11 and 146 days after discovery. The infrared data constitute the first ever infrared light curves of a type IIn supernova. We use blackbody and spline fits to the photometry to examine the luminosity evolution. During the first 2--3 months, the luminosity is dominated by the release of shock-deposited energy in the ejecta. After $sim$100 days the luminosity is powered mostly by the deposition of radioactive decay energy from 0.15$pm$0.05 M$_{odot}$ of $^{56}$Ni which was produced in the explosion. We also report the discovery of an astonishingly high infrared (IR) excess, $K-L=2.5$, that was present at day 130. We interpret this as being due to thermal emission from dust grains in the vicinity of the supernova. We argue that to produce such a high IR luminosity so soon after the explosion, the dust must be {it pre-existing} and so is located in the circumstellar medium of the progenitor. The dust could be heated either by the UV/optical flash (IR echo) or by the X-rays from the interaction of the ejecta with the circumstellar material
Near-infrared photometric observations of the Type IIn SN 2005ip in NGC 2906 reveal large fluxes (>1.3 mJy) in the K_s-band over more than 900 days. While warm dust can explain the late-time K_s-band emission of SN 2005ip, the nature of the dust heat
We present contemporary infrared and optical spectroscopic observations of the type IIn SN 1998S for the period between 3 and 127 days after discovery. In the first week the spectra are characterised by prominent broad emission lines with narrow peak
On 2017 March 11, the DLT40 Transient Discovery Survey discovered SN 2017cbv in NGC5643, a Type 2 Seyfert Galaxy in the Lupus Constellation. SN 2017cbv went on to become a bright Type Ia supernova, with a $V_{max}$ of 11.51 $pm$ 0.05 mag. We present
We present an extensive ($sim$ 1200 d) photometric and spectroscopic monitoring of the Type IIn supernova (SN) 2012ab. After a rapid initial rise leading to a bright maximum (M$_{R}$ = $-$19.39 mag), the light curves show a plateau lasting about 2 mo
We present the photometric and spectroscopic evolution of the type IIn SN 1995G in NGC 1643, on the basis of 4 years of optical and infrared observations. This supernova shows very flat optical light curves similar to SN 1988Z, with a slow decline ra
