TL;DR: In this article, two stripped-envelope supernovae (SNe) discovered in the nearby galaxy NGC 5806 by the (i)PTF have been investigated, and the main objective is to constrain the explosion parameters of iPTF12os and iPTF13bvn, and put constraints on the SN progenitors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present detailed data obtained at one of the youngest phase ever of a core-collapse supernovae (days 3-12 after the explosion) in the radio, millimetre and X-rays; when combined with optical data, this allows them to explore the early evolution of the SN blast wave and its surroundings.
