We present optical photometric and spectroscopic observations of the 1987A-like supernova (SN) 2009mw. Our $BVRI$ and $griz$ photometry covers 167 days of evolution, including the rise to the light curve maximum, and ends just after the beginning of the linear tail phase. We compare the observational properties of SN 2009mw with those of other SNe belonging to the same subgroup, and find that it shows similarities to several objects. The physical parameters of the progenitor and the SN are estimated via hydrodynamical modelling, yielding an explosion energy of $1$ foe, a pre-SN mass of $19,{rm M_{odot}}$, a progenitor radius as $30,{rm R_{odot}}$ and a $^{56}$Ni mass as $0.062,{rm M_{odot}}$. These values indicate that the progenitor of SN 2009mw was a blue supergiant star, similar to the progenitor of SN 1987A. We examine the host environment of SN 2009mw and find that it emerged from a population with slightly sub-solar metallicty.

We present extensive optical ($UBVRI$, $griz$, and open CCD) and near-infrared ($ZYJH$) photometry for the very nearby Type IIP SN ~2013ej extending from +1 to +461 days after shock breakout, estimated to be MJD $56496.9pm0.3$. Substantial time serie
s ultraviolet and optical spectroscopy obtained from +8 to +135 days are also presented. Considering well-observed SNe IIP from the literature, we derive $UBVRIJHK$ bolometric calibrations from $UBVRI$ and unfiltered measurements that potentially reach 2% precision with a $B-V$ color-dependent correction. We observe moderately strong Si II $lambda6355$ as early as +8 days. The photospheric velocity ($v_{rm ph}$) is determined by modeling the spectra in the vicinity of Fe II $lambda5169$ whenever observed, and interpolating at photometric epochs based on a semianalytic method. This gives $v_{rm ph} = 4500pm500$ km s$^{-1}$ at +50 days. We also observe spectral homogeneity of ultraviolet spectra at +10--12 days for SNe IIP, while variations are evident a week after explosion. Using the expanding photosphere method, from combined analysis of SN 2013ej and SN 2002ap, we estimate the distance to the host galaxy to be $9.0_{-0.6}^{+0.4}$ Mpc, consistent with distance estimates from other methods. Photometric and spectroscopic analysis during the plateau phase, which we estimated to be $94pm7$ days long, yields an explosion energy of $0.9pm0.3times10^{51}$ ergs, a final pre-explosion progenitor mass of $15.2pm4.2$~M$_odot$ and a radius of $250pm70$~R$_odot$. We observe a broken exponential profile beyond +120 days, with a break point at +$183pm16$ days. Measurements beyond this break time yield a $^{56}$Ni mass of $0.013pm0.001$~M$_odot$.
We report the first molecular line survey of Supernova 1987A in the millimetre wavelength range. In the ALMA 210--300 and 340--360 GHz spectra, we detected cold (20--170 K) CO, 28SiO, HCO+ and SO, with weaker lines of 29SiO from ejecta. This is the f
irst identification of HCO+ and SO in a young supernova remnant. We find a dip in the J=6--5 and 5--4 SiO line profiles, suggesting that the ejecta morphology is likely elongated. The difference of the CO and SiO line profiles is consistent with hydrodynamic simulations, which show that Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities cause mixing of gas, with heavier elements much more disturbed, making more elongated structure. We obtained isotopologue ratios of 28SiO/29SiO>13, 28SiO/30SiO>14, and 12CO/13CO>21, with the most likely limits of 28SiO/29SiO>128, 28SiO/30SiO>189. Low 29Si and 30Si abundances in SN 1987A are consistent with nucleosynthesis models that show inefficient formation of neutron-rich isotopes in a low metallicity environment, such as the Large Magellanic Cloud. The deduced large mass of HCO+ (~5x10^-6 Msun) and small SiS mass (<6x10^-5 Msun) might be explained by some mixing of elements immediately after the explosion. The mixing might have caused some hydrogen from the envelope to sink into carbon and oxygen-rich zones after the explosion, enabling the formation of a substantial mass of HCO+. Oxygen atoms may have penetrated into silicon and sulphur zones, suppressing formation of SiS. Our ALMA observations open up a new window to investigate chemistry, dynamics and explosive-nucleosynthesis in supernovae.
The origin of the blue supergiant (BSG) progenitor of Supernova (SN) 1987A has long been debated, along with the role that its sub-solar metallicity played. We now have a sample of 1987A-like SNe that arise from the core collapse (CC) of BSGs. The me
tallicity of the explosion sites of the known BSG SNe is investigated, as well as their association to star-forming regions. Both indirect and direct metallicity measurements of 13 BSG SN host galaxies are presented, and compared to those of other CC SN types. Indirect measurements are based on the known luminosity-metallicity relation and on published metallicity gradients of spiral galaxies. To provide direct estimates based on strong line diagnostics, we obtained spectra of each BSG SN host both at the SN explosion site and at the positions of other HII regions. Continuum-subtracted Ha images allowed us to quantify the association between BSG SNe and star-forming regions. BSG SNe explode either in low-luminosity galaxies or at large distances from the nuclei of luminous hosts. Therefore, their indirectly measured metallicities are typically lower than those of SNe IIP and Ibc. This is confirmed by the direct estimates, which show slightly sub-solar values (12+log(O/H)=8.3-8.4 dex), similar to that of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), where SN 1987A exploded. However, two SNe (1998A and 2004em) were found at near solar metallicity. SNe IIb have a metallicity distribution similar to that of BSG SNe. Finally, the association to star-forming regions is similar among BSG SNe, SNe IIP and IIn. Our results suggest that LMC metal abundances play a role in the formation of some 1987A-like SNe. This would naturally fit in a single star scenario for the progenitors. However, the existence of two events at nearly solar metallicity suggests that also other channels, e.g. binarity, contribute to produce BSG SNe.
We examine flash spectroscopy of a circumstellar medium (CSM) ionized by the hard radiation pulse produced by the emerging shock of a supernova (SN). We first find that the rise and fall times of the Halpha emission constrains the location of the CSM
with a peak at tpeak=Rstar sqrt(2/c vshock) for a star of radius Rstar and a shock velocity of vshock. The dropping temperature of the transient emission naturally reproduces the evolution of lines with different ionization energies. Second, for red supergiants (RSGs), the shock break out radiatively accelerates the CSM to produce broad, early-time line wings independent of the Thomson optical depth of the CSM. Finally, the CSM recombination rates in binaries can be dominated by a dense, cool, wind collision interface like those seen in Wolf-Rayet binaries rather than the individual stellar winds. Combining these three results, the flash spectroscopy observations of the normal Type IIP iPTF13dqy (SN 2013fs) are naturally explained by an RSG with a normal, Thomson optically thin wind in a binary with a separation of ~10^4 Rsun without any need for a pre-SN eruption. Similarly, the broad line wings seen for the Type IIb iPTF13ast (SN 2013cu), whose progenitors are generally yellow supergiants in binaries, are likely due to radiative acceleration of the CSM rather than pre-existing, Wolf-Rayet-like wind.
Using a combination of ground-based and HST imaging, we have constructed a catalog of 179 supernova remnants (SNRs) and SNR candidates in the nearby spiral galaxy M51. Follow-up spectroscopy of 66 of the candidates confirms 61 of these as SNRs, and s
uggests that the vast majority of the unobserved objects are SNRs as well. A total of 55 of the candidates are coincident with (mostly soft) X-ray sources identified in deep Chandra observations of M51; searching the positions of other soft X-ray sources resulted in several additional possible optical candidates. There are 16 objects in the catalog coincident with known radio sources. None of the sources with spectra shows the high velocities (>500 km/s) characteristic of young, ejecta-dominated SNRs like Cas A; instead, most if not all appear to be middle-aged SNRs. The general properties of the SNRs, size distribution and spectral characteristics, resemble those in other nearby spiral galaxies, notably M33, M83, and NGC6946, where similar samples exist. However, the spectroscopically observed [N II]:H{alpha} ratios appear to be significantly higher than in any of these other galaxies. Although we have explored various ideas to explain the high ratios in M51, none of the explanations appears to be satisfactory.
