Optical and near-infrared photometry and optical spectroscopy are reported for SN 2003bg, starting a few days after explosion and extending for a period of more than 300 days. Our early-time spectra reveal the presence of broad, high-velocity Balmer lines. The nebular-phase spectra, on the other hand, show a remarkable resemblance to those of Type Ib/c supernovae, without clear evidence for hydrogen. Near maximum brightness SN 2003bg displayed a bolometric luminosity comparable to that of other Type I hypernovae unrelated to gamma-ray bursts, implying a rather normal amount of 56Ni production (0.1-0.2 Msun) compared with other such objects. The bolometric light curve of SN 2003bg, on the other hand, is remarkably broad, thus suggesting a relatively large progenitor mass at the moment of explosion. These observations, together with the large value of the kinetic energy of expansion established in the accompanying paper (Mazzali et al. 2009), suggest that SN 2003bg can be regarded as a Type IIb hypernova.

Photometric and spectroscopic data of the energetic Type Ic supernova (SN) 2002ap are presented, and the properties of the SN are investigated through models of its spectral evolution and its light curve. The SN is spectroscopically similar to the hy
pernova SN 1997ef. However, its kinetic energy [$sim (4-10) times 10^{51}$ erg] and the mass ejected (2.5-5 $M_{odot}$) are smaller, resulting in a faster-evolving light curve. The SN synthesized $sim 0.07 M_{odot}$ of $^{56}$Ni, and its peak luminosity was similar to that of normal SNe. Brightness alone should not be used to define a hypernova, whose defining character, namely very broad spectral features, is the result of a high kinetic energy. The likely main-sequence mass of the progenitor star was 20-25 $M_{odot}$, which is also lower than that of both hypernovae SNe 1997ef and 1998bw. SN 2002ap appears to lie at the low-energy and low-mass end of the hypernova sequence as it is known so far. Observations of the nebular spectrum, which is expected to dominate by summer 2002, are necessary to confirm these values.
We observed seven epochs of spectropolarimetry in optical wavelengths for the Type IIb SN 2011hs, ranging from -3 to +40 days with respect to V -band maximum. A high degree of interstellar polarization was detected (up to ~3 percent), with a peak lyi
ng blueward of 4500A. Similar behaviours have been seen in some Type Ia SNe, but had never been observed in a Type IIb. We find that it is most likely the result of a relative enhancement of small silicate grains in the vicinity of the SN. Significant intrinsic continuum polarization was recovered at -3 and +2 days (p = 0.55 +- 0.12 percent and p = 0.75 +- 0.11 percent, respectively). We discuss the change of the polarization angle across spectral lines and in the continuum as diagnostics for the 3D structure of the ejecta. We see a gradual rotation by about -50 degree in the continuum polarization angle between -2 and +18 days after V - band maximum. A similar rotation in He I {lambda}5876, H{alpha} and the Ca II infrared triplet seems to indicate a strong influence of the global geometry on the line polarization features. The differences in the evolution of their respective loops on the Stokes q - u plane suggest that line specific geometries are also being probed. Possible interpretations are discussed and placed in the context of literature. We find that the spectropolarimetry of SN 2011hs is most similar to that of SN 2011dh, albeit with notable differences.
We report initial observations and analysis on the Type IIb SN~2016gkg in the nearby galaxy NGC~613. SN~2016gkg exhibited a clear double-peaked light curve during its early evolution, as evidenced by our intensive photometric follow-up campaign. SN~2
016gkg shows strong similarities with other Type IIb SNe, in particular with respect to the he~emission features observed in both the optical and near infrared. SN~2016gkg evolved faster than the prototypical Type~IIb SN~1993J, with a decline similar to that of SN~2011dh after the first peak. The analysis of archival {it Hubble Space Telescope} images indicate a pre-explosion source at SN~2016gkgs position, suggesting a progenitor star with a $sim$mid F spectral type and initial mass $15-20$msun, depending on the distance modulus adopted for NGC~613. Modeling the temperature evolution within $5,rm{days}$ of explosion, we obtain a progenitor radius of $sim,48-124$rsun, smaller than that obtained from the analysis of the pre-explosion images ($240-320$rsun).
The properties of the bright and energetic Type Ic SN 1997ef are investigated using a Monte Carlo spectrum synthesis code. Analysis of the earliest spectra is used to determine the time of outburst. The changing features of the spectrum and the light
curve are used to probe the ejecta and to determine their composition, verifying the results of explosion calculations. Since synthetic spectra computed using our best explosion model CO100 are only moderately good reproductions of the observations, the inverse approach is adopted, and a density structure is derived by demanding that it gives the best possible fit to the observed spectrum at every epoch analysed. It is found that the density structure of model CO100 is adequate at intermediate velocities (5000--25000 km/s), but that a slower density decline ($rho propto r^{-4}$) is required to obtain the extensive line blending at high velocities (25000--50000 km/s). The `best fit density distribution results in somewhat different parameters for the SN, namely an ejecta mass of 9.6$M_odot$ and an explosion kinetic energy of 1.75 x 10^{52} erg. The modified density structure is used to compute a synthetic light curve, which is found to agree very well with the observed bolometric light curve around maximum. The amount of radioactive $^{56}$Ni produced by the SN is confirmed at 0.13$M_odot$. In the context of an axisymmetric explosion, a somewhat smaller kinetic energy than that of SN 1998bw may have resulted from the non alignment of the symmetry axis of the SN and the line of sight. This might also explain the lack of evidence for a Gamma Ray Burst correlated with SN 1997ef.
A source coincident with the position of the type IIb supernova (SN) 2008ax is identified in pre-explosion Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 observations in three optical filters. We identify and constrain two possible progen
itor systems: (i) a single massive star that lost most of its hydrogen envelope through radiatively driven mass loss processes, prior to exploding as a helium-rich Wolf-Rayet star with a residual hydrogen envelope, and (ii) an interacting binary in a low mass cluster producing a stripped progenitor. Late time, high resolution observations along with detailed modelling of the SN will be required to reveal the true nature of this progenitor star.
