We update the capabilities of the software instrument Modules for Experiments in Stellar
Astrophysics (MESA) and enhance its ease of use and availability. Our new approach to …

Over the last 15 years, the supernova community has endeavoured to directly identify
progenitor stars for core-collapse supernovae discovered in nearby galaxies. These …

Literature data are collated for 38 stripped-envelope core-collapse supernovae (SE SNe; ie
SNe IIb, Ib, Ic and Ic-BL) that have good light-curve coverage in more than one optical band …

Several thousand core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) of different flavors have been
discovered so far. However, identifying their progenitors has remained an outstanding open …

JCW had long wanted to write a new monograph on supernovae. Despite an immense
explosion in the literature and many review articles, there had not been one since that of …

Massive binaries that merge as compact objects are the progenitors of gravitational-wave
sources. Most of these binaries experience one or more phases of mass transfer, during …

Stripped-envelope (SE) supernovae (SNe) include H-poor (Type IIb), H-free (Type Ib), and
He-free (Type Ic) events thought to be associated with the deaths of massive stars. The exact …

Context. We investigate two stripped-envelope supernovae (SNe) discovered in the nearby
galaxy NGC 5806 by the (intermediate) Palomar Transient Factory [(i) PTF]. These SNe …

The optical and optical/near-infrared pseudo-bolometric light curves of 85 stripped-envelope
supernovae (SNe) are constructed using a consistent method and a standard cosmology …

We present observations and analysis of 18 stripped-envelope supernovae observed during
2013–2018. This sample consists of five H/He-rich SNe, six H-poor/He-rich SNe, three …
