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

TL;DR: In this article , the authors present the results of prompt follow-up observations of SN 2018ivc with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, which suggests that it is intrinsically an SN IIb-like explosion of an He star with a modest (∼0.5 − 1M ⊙) extended H-rich envelope.

The Progenitors of Calcium-Strong Transients.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors find that the CaST radial distribution is consistent with the radial distribution of two populations of stars: old (ages > 5 Gyr), low-metallicity (Z/Zsol < 0.3) stars and globular clusters.

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.
