TLDR
In this article, the bolometric light curve of 38 stripped-envelope core-collapse supernovae (SE SNe) is recovered and template light curves provided.Abstract:
Literature data are collated for 38 stripped-envelope core-collapse supernovae (SE SNe; i.e. SNe IIb, Ib, Ic and Ic-BL) that have good light curve coverage in more than one optical band. Using bolometric corrections derived in previous work, the bolometric light curve of each SN is recovered and template bolometric light curves provided. Peak light distributions and decay rates are investigated; SNe subtypes are not cleanly distinguished in this parameter space, although some grouping of types does occur and there is a suggestion of a Phillips-like relation for most SNe Ic-BL. The bolometric light curves are modelled with a simple analytical prescription and compared to results from more detailed modelling. Distributions of the explosion parameters shows the extreme nature of SNe Ic-BL in terms of their 56Ni mass and the kinetic energy, however ejected masses are similar to other subtypes. SNe Ib and Ic have very similar distributions of explosion parameters, indicating a similarity in progenitors. SNe~IIb are the most homogeneous subtype and have the lowest average values for 56Ni mass, ejected mass, and kinetic energy. Ejecta masses for each subtype and SE SNe as a whole are inconsistent with those expected from very massive stars. The majority of the ejecta mass distribution is well described by more moderately massive progenitors in binaries, indicating these are the dominant progenitor channel for SE SNe.read more

The synthesis of Ti44 and Ni56 in massive stars
Alessandro Chieffi,Marco Limongi +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of rotation on the combined synthesis of Ti44 and Ni56 in massive stars was discussed, and it was shown that the thickness of the region exposed to the incomplete explosive Si burning increases in rotating models (v_ini=300 km/s).

Origins of Type Ibn SNe 2006jc/2015G in interacting binaries and implications for pre-SN eruptions
TL;DR: In this article, a point source is detected at the position of Type Ibn SNe 2006jc and 2015G, and it is confirmed the conclusion of Maund et al. that it is the progenitor's binary companion.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore a new scenario for producing stripped-envelope supernova progenitors, where the second supernova is removed during its red supergiant phase by the impact of the first supernova.

Host galaxies of SNe Ic-BL with and without long gamma-ray bursts
J. Japelj,S. D. Vergani,Ruben Salvaterra,Mathieu Renzo,Emmanouil Zapartas,S. E. de Mink,Lex Kaper,Stefano Zibetti +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the host galaxies of SNe Ic with and without a detected GRB, the latter being detected in untargeted surveys, with the aim of finding out whether there are any systematic differences between the environments in which these two classes of supernovae preferentially explode.

TL;DR: In this paper, optical and ultraviolet photometry, and low resolution optical spectroscopy of the broad-line type Ic supernova SN 2014ad in the galaxy PGC 37625 (Mrk 1309), covering the evolution of the supernova during $-$5 to +87 d with respect to the date of maximum in the B$-band.

On the variation of the initial mass function
TL;DR: In this paper, the uncertainty inherent in any observational estimate of the IMF is investigated by studying the scatter introduced by Poisson noise and the dynamical evolution of star clusters, and it is found that this apparent scatter reproduces quite well the observed scatter in power-law index determinations, thus defining the fundamental limit within which any true variation becomes undetectable.

Gamma-ray bursts from stellar mass accretion disks around black holes
TL;DR: In this paper, a cosmological model for gamma-ray bursts is explored in which the radiation is produced as a broadly beamed pair fireball along the rotation axis of an accreting black hole.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the discovery of transient optical emission in the error box of the gamma-ray burst GRB980425, the light curve of which was very different from that of previous optical afterglows associated with Gamma-ray bursts.
