The properties of underluminous type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) of the 91bg subclass have yet to be theoretically understood. Here, we take a closer look at the structure of the dim SN Ia 2005bl. We infer the abundance and density profiles needed to reproduce the observed spectral evolution between -6 d and +12.9 d with respect to B maximum. Initially, we assume the density structure of the standard explosion model W7; then we test whether better fits to the observed spectra can be obtained using modified density profiles with different total masses and kinetic energies. Compared to normal SNe Ia, we find a lack of burning products especially in the rapidly-expanding outer layers (v>~15000 km/s). The zone between ~8500 and 15000 km/s is dominated by oxygen and includes some amount of intermediate mass elements. At lower velocities, intermediate mass elements dominate. This holds down to the lowest zones investigated in this work. This fact, together with negligible-to-moderate abundances of Fe-group elements, indicates large-scale incomplete Si burning or explosive O burning, possibly in a detonation at low densities. Consistently with the reduced nucleosynthesis, we find hints of a kinetic energy lower than that of a canonical SN Ia: The spectra strongly favour reduced densities at >~13000 km/s compared to W7, and are very well fitted using a rescaled W7 model with original mass (1.38 M_sun), but a kinetic energy reduced by ~30 % (i.e. from 1.33e51 erg to 0.93e51 erg).

Low-luminosity type II supernovae (LL SNe~II) make up the low explosion energy end of core-collapse SNe, but their study and physical understanding remain limited. We present SN,2016aqf, a LL SN~II with extensive spectral and photometric coverage. We measure a $V$-band peak magnitude of $-14.58$,mag, a plateau duration of $sim$100,days, and an inferred $^{56}$Ni mass of $0.008 pm 0.002$,msun. The peak bolometric luminosity, L$_{rm bol} approx 10^{41.4}$,erg,s$^{-1}$, and its spectral evolution is typical of other SNe in the class. Using our late-time spectra, we measure the [ion{O}{i}] $lambdalambda6300, 6364$ lines, which we compare against SN II spectral synthesis models to constrain the progenitor zero-age main-sequence mass. We find this to be 12 $pm$ 3,msun. Our extensive late-time spectral coverage of the [ion{Fe}{ii}] $lambda7155$ and [ion{Ni}{ii}] $lambda7378$ lines permits a measurement of the Ni/Fe abundance ratio, a parameter sensitive to the inner progenitor structure and explosion mechanism dynamics. We measure a constant abundance ratio evolution of $0.081^{+0.009}_{-0.010}$, and argue that the best epochs to measure the ratio are at $sim$200 -- 300,days after explosion. We place this measurement in the context of a large sample of SNe II and compare against various physical, light-curve and spectral parameters, in search of trends which might allow indirect ways of constraining this ratio. We do not find correlations predicted by theoretical models; however, this may be the result of the exact choice of parameters and explosion mechanism in the models, the simplicity of them and/or primordial contamination in the measured abundance ratio.
While interaction with circumstellar material is known to play an important role in Type IIn supernovae (SNe), analyses of the more common SNe IIP and IIL have not traditionally included interaction as a significant power source. However, recent camp aigns to observe SNe within days of explosion have revealed narrow emission lines of high-ionization species in the earliest spectra of luminous SNe II of all subclasses. These flash ionization features indicate the presence of a confined shell of material around the progenitor star. Here we present the first low-luminosity (LL) SN to show flash ionization features, SN 2016bkv. This SN peaked at $M_V = -16$ mag and has H{alpha} expansion velocities under 1350 km/s around maximum light, placing it at the faint/slow end of the distribution of SNe IIP (similar to SN 2005cs). The light-curve shape of SN 2016bkv is also extreme among SNe IIP. A very strong initial peak could indicate additional luminosity from circumstellar interaction. A very small fall from the plateau to the nickel tail indicates unusually large production of radioactive nickel compared to other LL SNe IIP. A comparison between nebular spectra of SN 2016bkv and models raises the possibility that SN 2016bkv is an electron-capture supernova.

We present optical spectroscopic and photometric observations of Type Ia supernova (SN) 2006X from --10 to +91 days after the $B$-band maximum. This SN exhibits one of the highest expansion velocity ever published for SNe Ia. At premaximum phases, th e spectra show strong and broad features of intermediate-mass elements such as Si, S, Ca, and Mg, while the O{sc i}$lambda$7773 line is weak. The extremely high velocities of Si{sc ii} and S{sc ii} lines and the weak O{sc i} line suggest that an intense nucleosynthesis might take place in the outer layers, favoring a delayed detonation model. Interestingly, Si{sc ii}$lambda$5972 feature is quite shallow, resulting in an unusually low depth ratio of Si{sc ii}$lambda$5972 to $lambda$6355, $cal R$(Si{sc ii}). The low $cal R$(Si{sc ii}) is usually interpreted as a high photospheric temperature. However, the weak Si{sc iii}$lambda$4560 line suggests a low temperature, in contradiction to the low $cal R$(Si{sc ii}). This could imply that the Si{sc ii}$lambda$5972 line might be contaminated by underlying emission. We propose that $cal R$(Si{sc ii}) may not be a good temperature indicator for rapidly expanding SNe Ia at premaximum phases.

Type II-linear supernovae are thought to arise from progenitors that have lost most of their H envelope by the time of the explosion, and they are poorly understood because they are only occasionally discovered. It is possible that they are intrinsic ally rare, but selection effects due to their rapid luminosity evolution may also play an important role in limiting the number of detections. In this context, the discovery of a subluminous type II-linear event is even more interesting. We investigate the physical properties and characterise the explosion site of the type II SN 1999ga, which exploded in the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 2442. Spectroscopic and photometric observations of SN 1999ga allow us to constrain the energetics of the explosion and to estimate the mass of the ejected material, shedding light on the nature of the progenitor star in the final stages of its life. The study of the environment in the vicinity of the explosion site provides information on a possible relation between these unusual supernovae and the properties of the galaxies hosting them. Despite the lack of early-time observations, we provide reasonable evidence that SN 1999ga was probably a type II-linear supernova that ejected a few solar masses of material, with a very small amount of radioactive elements of the order of 0.01 solar masses.
We present optical photometry and spectroscopy of the Type Ia supernova SN2018cqj/ATLAS18qtd. The supernova exploded in an isolated region at $sim 65$~kpc from the S0 galaxy IC~550 at $z=0.0165$ ($Dapprox 74$~Mpc) and has a redshift consistent with a physical association to this galaxy. Multicolor photometry show that SN2018cqj/ATLAS18qtd is a low-luminosity ($M_{B_{max}}approx -17.9$ mag), fast-declining Type Ia with color stretch $s_{BV} approx 0.6$ and $B$-band decline rate $Delta m_{15}(B) approx 1.77$ mag. Two nebular-phase spectra obtained as part of the 100IAS survey at +193 and +307 days after peak show the clear detection of a narrow H$alpha$ line in emission that is resolved in the first spectrum with $rm FWHM approx 1200$ km s$^{-1}$ and $L_{Halpha} approx 3.8times 10^{37}$ erg s$^{-1}$. The detection of a resolved H$alpha$ line with a declining luminosity is broadly consistent with recent models where hydrogen is stripped from the non-degenerate companion in a single-degenerate progenitor system. However, the amount of hydrogen consistent with the luminosities of the H$alpha$ line would be $sim 10^{-3}$ M$_{odot}$, significantly less than theoretical model predictions in the classical single-degenerate progenitor systems. SN2018cqj/ATLAS18qtd is the second low-luminosity, fast-declining Type Ia SN after SN2018fhw/ASASSN-18tb that shows narrow H$alpha$ in emission in its nebular-phase spectra.
