We present extensive optical photometric and spectroscopic observations of the high-velocity (HV) Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2017fgc, covering the phase from $sim$ 12 d before to $sim 389$ d after maximum brightness. SN 2017fgc is similar to normal SNe Ia, with an absolute peak magnitude of $M_{rm max}^{B} approx$ $-19.32 pm 0.13$ mag and a post-peak decline of ${Delta}m_{15}(B)$ = $1.05 pm 0.07$ mag. Its peak bolometric luminosity is derived as $1.32 pm 0.13) times 10^{43} $erg s$^{-1}$, corresponding to a $^{56}$Ni mass of $0.51 pm 0.03 M_{odot}$. The light curves of SN 2017fgc are found to exhibit excess emission in the $UBV$ bands in the early nebular phase and pronounced secondary shoulder/maximum features in the $RrIi$ bands. Its spectral evolution is similar to that of HV SNe Ia, with a maximum-light Si II velocity of $15,000 pm 150 $km s$^{-1}$ and a post-peak velocity gradient of $sim$ $120 pm 10 $km s$^{-1} $d$^{-1}$. The Fe II and Mg II lines blended near 4300 {AA} and the Fe II, Si II, and Fe III lines blended near 4800 {AA} are obviously stronger than those of normal SNe Ia. Inspecting a large sample reveals that the strength of the two blends in the spectra, and the secondary peak in the $i/r$-band light curves, are found to be positively correlated with the maximum-light Si II velocity. Such correlations indicate that HV SNe~Ia may experience more complete burning in the ejecta and/or that their progenitors have higher metallicity. Examining the birthplace environment of SN 2017fgc suggests that it likely arose from a stellar environment with young and high-metallicity populations.

We present a set of photometric and spectroscopic observations of a bright Type Ib supernova SN 2012au from -6d until ~+150d after maximum. The shape of its early R-band light curve is similar to that of an average Type Ib/c supernova. The peak absol
ute magnitude is M_R=-18.7+-0.2 mag, which suggests that this supernova belongs to a very luminous group among Type Ib supernovae. The line velocity of He I {lambda}5876 is about 15,000 km/s around maximum, which is much faster than that in a typical Type Ib supernova. From the quasi-bolometric peak luminosity of (6.7+-1.3)x10^(42) erg/s, we estimate the Ni mass produced during the explosion as ~0.30 Msun. We also give a rough constraint to the ejecta mass 5-7 Msun and the kinetic energy (7-18)x10^(51) erg. We find a weak correlation between the peak absolute magnitude and He I velocity among Type Ib SNe. The similarities to SN 1998bw in the density structure inferred from the light curve model as well as the large peak bolometric luminosity suggest that SN 2012au had properties similar to energetic Type Ic supernovae.
We present the detailed optical evolution of a type Ib SN 2015dj in NGC 7371, using data spanning up to $sim$ 170 days after discovery. SN 2015dj shares similarity in light curve shape with SN 2007gr and peaks at M$_{V}$ = $-17.37pm$0.02 mag. Analyti
cal modelling of the quasi bolometric light curve yields 0.06$pm$0.01 M$_{odot}$ of $^{56}$Ni, ejecta mass $M_{rm ej} = 1.4^{+1.3}_{-0.5}$ msol, and kinetic energy $E_{rm k} = 0.7^{+0.6}_{-0.3} times 10^{51}$ erg. The spectral features show a fast evolution and resemble those of spherically symmetric ejecta. The analysis of nebular phase spectral lines indicate a progenitor mass between 13-20 M$_{odot}$ suggesting a binary scenario.
We present new spectra obtained using Keck/KCWI and perform kinematics and stellar population analyses of the shell galaxy NGC 474, from both the galaxy centre and a region from the outer shell. We show that both regions have similarly extended star
formation histories although with different stellar population properties. The central region of NGC 474 is dominated by intermediate-aged stars (8.3 pm 0.3 Gyr) with subsolar metallicity ([Z/H]= -0.24 pm 0.07 dex) while the observed shell region, which hosts a substantial population of younger stars, has a mean luminosity-weighted age of 4.0 pm 0.5 Gyr with solar metallicities ([Z/H]=-0.03 pm 0.09 dex). Our results are consistent with a scenario in which NGC 474 experienced a major to intermediate merger with a log((M_*/M_odot)sim10 ) mass satellite galaxy at least sim 2 Gyr ago which produced its shell system. This work shows that the direct spectroscopic study of low-surface brightness stellar features, such as shells, is now feasible and opens up a new window to understanding galaxy formation and evolution.
Photometric and spectroscopic observations of type Ia supernova (SN) 2017fgc which cover the period from $-$12 to +137 days since the $B$-band maximum are presented. SN 2017fgc is a photometrically normal SN Ia with the luminosity decline rate, $ Del
ta m_{15} (B)_{true} $= 1.10 $ pm $ 0.10 mag. Spectroscopically, it belongs to the High Velocity (HV) SNe Ia group, with the Si II $lambda$6355 velocity near the $B$-band maximum estimated to be 15,200 $ pm $ 480 km $s^{-1}$. At the epochs around the near-infrared secondary peak, the $R$ and $I$ bands show an excess of $sim$0.2 mag level compared to the light curves of the normal velocity (NV) SNe Ia. Further inspection of the samples of HV and NV SNe Ia indicates that the excess is a generic feature among HV SNe Ia, different from NV SNe Ia. There is also a hint that the excess is seen in the V band, both in SN 2017fgc and other HV SNe Ia, which behaves like a less prominent shoulder in the light curve. The excess is not obvious in the B band (and unknown in the U band), and the color is consistent with the fiducial SN color. This might indicate the excess is attributed to the bolometric luminosity, not in the color. This excess is less likely caused by external effects, like an echo or change in reddening but could be due to an ionization effect, which reflects an intrinsic, either distinct or continuous, difference in the ejecta properties between HV and NV SNe Ia.
Observations of the recent SN 1991bg in the elliptical galaxy NGC 5490 show that this objects closely resembles, both photometrically and spectroscopically, the faint SNIa 1991bg. The two objects have similar light curves, which do not show seconda
ry maxima in the near IR as normal type Ia supernovae. The host galaxy, NGC5490, lies in the Hubble flow. Adopting for SN1997cn a reddening E(B-V)=0, the absolute magnitude is faint: MV = -17.98 using Ho=65 and MV = -17.40 using Ho=85 km/(s Mpc). The latter value is in close agreement with the absolute magnitude of SN 1991bg on the SBF--PNLF--TF distance scale. The photospheric spectra of the two SNe show the same peculiarities, the deep TiII trough between 4000 and 4500A, the strong CaII IR triplet, the narrow absorption at about 5700A and the slow expansion velocity. In analogy to SN 1991bg the observed spectrum of SN1997cn has been successfully modeled by scaling down the W7 model by a factor of 2, assuming a rise time to B maximum of 18 days, a photospheric velocity and an effective temperature low compared to normal SNIa. The influence of the distance scale adopted on the input parameters of the best fit model is also discussed. These data demonstrate that peculiar SNIa like SN 1991bg are not once--in--a--lifetime events and that deep SN searches can be contaminated by underluminous SN Ia in a fairly large volume.
