H and He features in photospheric spectra have seldom been used to infer quantitatively the properties of Type IIb, Ib and Ic supernovae (SNe IIb, Ib and Ic) and their progenitor stars. Most radiative transfer models ignored NLTE effects, which are extremely strong especially in the He-dominated zones. In this paper, a comprehensive set of model atmospheres for low-mass SNe IIb/Ib/Ic is presented. Long-standing questions such as how much He can be contained in SNe Ic, where He lines are not seen, can thus be addressed. The state of H and He is computed in full NLTE, including the effect of heating by fast electrons. The models are constructed to represent iso-energetic explosions of the same stellar core with differently massive H/He envelopes on top. The synthetic spectra suggest that 0.06 - 0.14 M_sun of He and even smaller amounts of H suffice for optical lines to be present, unless ejecta asymmetries play a major role. This strongly supports the conjecture that low-mass SNe Ic originate from binaries where progenitor mass loss can be extremely efficient.

Photometric observations of three core collapse supernovae (SNe 2004ao, 2004gk and 2006gi), covering about 200 days of evolution are presented and analyzed. The photometric behaviour of the three objects is consistent with their membership of the env elope-stripped type Ib/c class. Pseudo-bolometric light curves are constructed. The corresponding measured $e$-folding times are found to be faster compared to the $^{56}$Co decay (i.e. 111.3 d), suggesting that a proportion of $gamma$-rays increasing with time have escaped without thermalization, owing to the low mass nature of the ejecta. SN 2006gi has almost identical post maximum decline phase luminosities as SN 1999ex, and found to be similar to both SNe 1999dn and 1999ex in terms of the quasi-bolometric shape, placing it among the fast decliner Ib objects. SN 2004ao appears to fit within the slow decliner Ib SNe. SNe 2004ao and 2004gk display almost identical luminosities in the [50-100] days time interval, similar to SN 1993J. A preliminary simplified $gamma -$ray deposition model is described and applied to the computed pseudo-bolometric light curves, allowing one to find a range in the ejecta and $^{56}$Ni masses. The optical and quasi-bolometric light curves, and the $B-V$ colour evolution of SN 2004gk are found to show a sudden drop after day 150. Correlating this fact to dust formation is premature and requires further observational evidence.
The rotational spectral lines of c-C$_3$H$_2$ and two kinds of the $^{13}$C isotopic species, c-$^{13}$CCCH$_2$ ($C_{2v}$ symmetry) and c-CC$^{13}$CH$_2$ ($C_s$ symmetry) have been observed in the 1-3 mm band toward the low-mass star-forming region L 1527. We have detected 7, 3, and 6 lines of c-C$_3$H$_2$, c-$^{13}$CCCH$_2$ , and c-CC$^{13}$CH$_2$, respectively, with the Nobeyama 45 m telescope, and 34, 6, and 13 lines, respectively, with the IRAM 30 m telescope, where 7, 2, and 2 transitions, respectively, are observed with the both telescopes. With these data, we have evaluated the column densities of the normal and $^{13}$C isotopic species. The [c-C$_3$H$_2$]/[c-$^{13}$CCCH$_2$] ratio is determined to be $310pm80$, while the [c-C$_3$H$_2$]/[c-CC$^{13}$CH$_2$] ratio is determined to be $61pm11$. The [c-C$_3$H$_2$]/[c-$^{13}$CCCH$_2$] and [c-C$_3$H$_2$]/[c-CC$^{13}$CH$_2$] ratios expected from the elemental $^{12}$C/$^{13}$C ratio are 60-70 and 30-35, respectively, where the latter takes into account the statistical factor of 2 for the two equivalent carbon atoms in c-C$_3$H$_2$. Hence, this observation further confirms the dilution of the $^{13}$C species in carbon-chain molecules and their related molecules, which are thought to originate from the dilution of $^{13}$C$^+$ in the gas-phase C$^+$ due to the isotope exchange reaction: $mathrm{^{13}C^++COrightarrow{}^{13}CO+C^+}$. Moreover, the abundances of the two $^{13}$C isotopic species are different from each other. The ratio of c-$mathrm{^{13}CCCH_2}$ species relative to c-$mathrm{CC^{13}CH_2}$ is determined to be $0.20pm0.05$. If $^{13}$C were randomly substituted for the three carbon atoms, the [c-$mathrm{^{13}CCCH_2}$]/[c-$mathrm{CC^{13}CH_2}$] ratio would be 0.5. Hence, the observed ratio indicates that c-$mathrm{CC^{13}CH_2}$ exists more favorably. Possible origins of the different abundances are discussed.

While the connection between Long Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) and Type Ib/c Supernovae (SNe Ib/c) from stripped stars has been well-established, one key outstanding question is what conditions and factors lead to each kind of explosion in massive strippe d stars. One promising line of attack is to investigate what sets apart SNe Ib/c with GRBs from those without GRBs. Here, I briefly present two observational studies that probe the SN properties and the environmental metallicities of SNe Ib/c (specifically broad-lined SNe Ic) with and without GRBs. I present an analysis of expansion velocities based on published spectra and on the homogeneous spectroscopic CfA data set of over 70 SNe of Types IIb, Ib, Ic and Ic-bl, which triples the world supply of well-observed Stripped SNe. Moreover, I demonstrate that a meta-analysis of the three published SN Ib/c metallicity data sets, when including only values at the SN positions to probe natal oxygen abundances, indicates at very high significance that indeed SNe Ic erupt from more metal-rich environments than SNe Ib, while SNe Ic-bl with GRBs still prefer, on average, more metal-poor sites than those without GRBs.

We report our study of two proto-brown dwarf candidates in Taurus, [GKH94]~41 and IRAS~04191+1523B. Based on continuum maps at 102~GHz (or 2.9~mm), spectral types and the spectral energy distribution of both targets, we confirmed the class I evolutio nary stage of [GKH94]~41 and IRAS~04191+1523B, and estimated the upper limit to the final masses to be 49$^{+56}_{-27}$~$M_{rm J}$ and 75$^{+40}_{-26}$~$M_{rm J}$ for [GKH94]~41 and IRAS~04191+1523B, respectively. This indicates that they will likely end up as brown dwarfs or very low-mass stars. The existence of these class I very low-mass objects strongly supports the scenario that brown dwarfs and very low-mass stars have the same formation stages as low-mass stars.
The chemically peculiar barium stars, CH stars, and most CEMP stars are all believed to be the products of mass transfer in binary systems from a now extinct AGB primary star. The mass of the AGB star and the orbital parameters of the system are the key factors usually considered when determining how much mass is transferred onto the lower-mass main-sequence companion. What is usually neglected, however, is the angular momentum of the accreted material, which should spin up the accreting star. If the star reaches critical rotation, further accretion should cease until the excess angular momentum is somehow dealt with. If the star cannot redistribute or lose the angular momentum while the primary is on the AGB, the amount of mass accreted could be much lower than otherwise expected. Here we present calculations, based on detailed stellar evolution models, of the mass that can be accreted by putative progenitors of Ba and CEMP stars before they reach critical rotation under the assumption that no angular momentum loss occurs during the mass transfer. We consider different accretion rates and values of specific angular momentum. The most stringent limits on the accreted masses result from considering accretion from a Keplerian accretion disk, which is likely present during the formation of most extrinsically-polluted carbon-enriched stars. Our calculations indicate that in this scenario only about 0.05 solar masses of material can be added to the accreting star before it reaches critical rotation, which is much too low to explain the chemical enrichment of many Ba and CEMP stars. Either the specific angular momentum of the accreted material has to effectively be lower by about a factor of ten than the Keplerian value, or significant angular momentum losses must occur for substantial accretion to take place.
