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 WFPC2 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.
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
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
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
We report on VLA measurements between 1 and 45 GHz of the evolving radio spectral energy distribution (SED) of SN 1986J, made in conjunction with VLBI imaging. The SED of SN 1986J is unique among supernovae, and shows an inversion point and a high-fr
The evolution of the shape and size of the ejecta of SN 1987A is analyzed over a period of ~ 8 years based on HST images and spectra taken between 1278 and 4336 days after the supernova outburst. We combine both proprietary and archival HST data obta
