We report the detection of broad, high-velocity oxygen emission lines from the site of SN 1941C nearly eight decades after outburst, making it the oldest optically detected core-collapse supernova/youngest core-collapse supernova remnant with a well determined age. In contrast to the strongly blueshifted emission line profiles observed for all other late-time CCSNe thought to be due to dust extinction of rear hemisphere ejecta, SN 1941Cs spectrum exhibits stronger redshifted than blueshifted emissions of [O I] 6300, 6364 A, [O II] 7319, 7330 A, and [O III] 4959, 5007 A. The oxygen emissions exhibit rest frame expansion velocities of -2200 to +4400 km/s. No other significant broad line emissions were detected including Halpha emission. We discuss possible causes for this unusual spectrum and compare SN 1941Cs optical and X-ray luminosities to other evolved CCSNe.

SN 2017eaw, the tenth supernova observed in NGC 6946, was a normal Type II-P supernova with an estimated 11 - 13 Msun supergiant progenitor. Here we present nebular phase spectra of SN 2017eaw at +545 and +900 days post-max, extending approximately 5
0 - 400 days past the epochs of previously published spectra. While the +545 day spectra is similar to spectra taken between days +400 and +493, the +900 day spectrum shows dramatic changes both in spectral features and emission line profiles. The Halpha emission is flat-topped and box-like with sharp blue and red profile velocities of ~ -8000 and +7500 km/s. These late-time spectral changes indicate strong circumstellar interaction with a mass-loss shell, expelled ~ 1700 years before explosion. SN 2017eaws +900 day spectrum is similar to those seen for SN 2004et and SN 2013ej observed 2 - 3 years after explosion. We discuss the importance of late-time monitoring of bright SNe II-P and the nature of pre-supernova mass-loss events for SN II-P evolution.
Optical spectra of the bright Type II-L supernova SN 1979C obtained in April 2008 with the 6.5 m MMT telescope are compared with archival late-time spectra to follow the evolution of its optical emission over the age range of 11 to 29 years. We estim
ate an Halpha flux decrease of around 35% from 1993 to 2008 but noticeable increases in the strength of blueshifted emission of forbidden oxygen lines. While the maximum expansion of the broad ~6700 km/s Halpha emission appears largely unchanged from 1993, we find a significant narrowing of the double-peaked emission profiles in the [O I] 6300, 6364 and [O II] 7319, 7330 lines. A comparison of late-time optical spectra of a few other Type II supernovae which, like SN 1979C, exhibit bright late-time X-ray, optical, and radio emissions, suggests that blueshifted double-peaked oxygen emission profiles may be a common phenomenon. Finally, detection of a faint, broad emission bump centered around 5800 Angstroms suggests the presence of WC type Wolf-Rayet stars in the supernovas host star cluster.
We present late-time optical images and spectra of the Type IIn supernova SN 1986J. HST ACS/WFC images obtained in February 2003 show it to be still relatively bright with m(F606W) = 21.4 and m(F814W) = 20.0 mag. Compared against December 1994 HST WF
PC2 images, SN 1986J shows a decline of only <1 mag in brightness over eight years. Ground-based spectra taken in 1989, 1991 and 2007 show a 50% decline in Halpha emission between 1989-1991 and an order of magnitude drop between 1991-2007, along with the disappearance of He I line emissions during the period 1991-2007. The objects [O I] 6300, 6364, [O II] 7319, 7330 and [O III] 4959, 5007 emission lines show two prominent peaks near -1000 km/s and -3500 km/s, with the more blueshifted component declining significantly in strength between 1991 and 2007. The observed spectral evolution suggests two different origins for SN 1986Js late-time optical emission: dense, shock-heated circumstellar material which gave rise to the initially bright Halpha, He I, and [N II] 5755 lines, and reverse-shock heated O-rich ejecta on the facing expanding hemisphere dominated by two large clumps generating two blueshifted emission peaks of [O I], [O II], and [O III] lines.
Ground-based optical spectra and Hubble Space Telescope images of ten core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) obtained several years to decades after outburst are analyzed with the aim of understanding the general properties of their late-time emissions. Ne
w observations of SN 1957D, 1970G, 1980K, and 1993J are included as part of the study. Blueshifted line emissions in oxygen and/or hydrogen with conspicuous line substructure are a common and long-lasting phenomenon in the late-time spectra. Followed through multiple epochs, changes in the relative strengths and velocity widths of the emission lines are consistent with expectations for emissions produced by interaction between SN ejecta and the progenitor stars circumstellar material. The most distinct trend is an increase in the strength of [O III]/([O I]+[O II]) with age, and a decline in Halpha/([O I]+[O II]) which is broadly consistent with the view that the reverse shock has passed through the H envelope of the ejecta in many of these objects. We also present a spatially integrated spectrum of the young Galactic supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A). Similarities observed between the emission line profiles of the 330 yr old Cas A remnant and decades old CCSNe suggest that observed emission line asymmetry in evolved CCSN spectra may be associated with dust in the ejecta, and that minor peak substructure typically interpreted as clumps or blobs of ejecta may instead be linked with large-scale rings of SN debris.
We report the time variability of the late-time radio emission in a Type-I superluminous supernova (SLSN), PTF10hgi, at z = 0.0987. The Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array 3 GHz observations at 8.6 and 10 years after the explosion both detected radio emi
ssion with a ~40% decrease in flux density in the second epoch. This is the first report of a significant variability of the late-time radio light curve in a SLSN. Through combination with previous measurements in two other epochs, we constrained both the rise and decay phases of the radio light curve over three years, peaking at approximately 8-9 years after the explosion with a peak luminosity of L(3GHz) = 2 x 10^21 W/Hz. Possible scenarios for the origin of the variability are an active galactic nucleus (AGN) in the host galaxy, an afterglow caused by the interaction between an off-axis jet and circumstellar medium, and a wind nebula powered by a newly-born magnetar. Comparisons with models show that the radio light curve can be reproduced by both the afterglow model and magnetar wind nebula model. Considering the flat radio spectrum at 1-15 GHz and an upper limit at 0.6 GHz obtained in previous studies, plausible scenarios are a low-luminosity flat-spectrum AGN or a magnetar wind nebula with a shallow injection spectral index.
