چکیده
We review the basic properties of the different supernova types identified in the current taxonomy, with emphasis on the more recent developments. To help orienting in the variegate zoo, the optical photometric and spectroscopic properties of the different supernova types are presented in a number of summary figures. We also report the latest estimates of the supernova rates and stress the need for a dedicated effort to measure SN rates at high redshift.

The Supernova Rate in Starburst Galaxies
We conducted an optical CCD search for supernovae in a sample of 142 bright (m(B) 16 mag), nearby (z 0:03) starburst galaxies over the period 1988 December to 1991 June, to a limiting R-band magnitude of 18. Five supernovae were found, in all cases outside the host galaxy's nucleus. We determine supernova rates in the extranuclear regions to be 0:7h 2 SNU for type Ia, 0:7h 2 SNU for type Ib/c, ...
متن کاملCosmic Supernova Rates and the Hubble Sequence
We compute the type Ia, Ib/c and II supernova (SN) rates as functions of the cosmic time for galaxies of different morphological types. We use four different chemical evolution models, each one reproducing the features of a particular morphological type: E/S0, S0a/b, Sbc/d and Irr galaxies. We essentially describe the Hubble sequence by means of decreasing efficiency of star formation and incre...
متن کاملKey Words: STARS: BINARIES — STARS: CIRCUMSTELLAR MATERIAL — STARS: PRE-MAIN SEQUENCE — STARS: MASS LOSS
Binary stars are important for a full understanding of stellar evolution. We present a summary of how predictions of the relative supernova rates varies between single and binary stars. We also show how the parameter space of different supernova types differs between single and binary stars. We then consider an important question of how to infer a supernova progenitor’s properties from pre-expl...
متن کاملSUPERNOVAE IN LOW-REDSHIFT GALAXY CLUSTERS: THE TYPE Ia SUPERNOVA RATE
Supernova (SN) rates are a potentially powerful diagnostic of star formation history (SFH), metal enrichment, and SN physics, particularly in galaxy clusters with their deep, metal-retaining potentials and simple SFH. However, a low-redshift cluster SN rate has never been published. We derive the SN rate in galaxy clusters at 0:06 < z < 0:19, based on Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) that were disco...
متن کاملActive Sterile Neutrino Conversions in a Supernova with Random Magnetic Fields
Large enough random magnetic fields may affect in an important way neutrino conversion rates, even in the case where neutrinos have zero transition magnetic moments. We consider their effect in the case of active to sterile neutrino conversions in a supernova and show that for KeV neutrino masses these limits may overcome those derived for the case of zero magnetic field.
