Using the environment to understand supernova properties
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 January 2014
Abstract
We present three studies that use supernova (SN) environments within host galaxies (HGs) to constrain SNe properties. These studies are ordered from an indirect approximation to a direct determination of the environmental parameters of the SN. We find correlations between the galactocentric distance and several parameters measured from both the SN light-curve (LC) and the host galaxy spectroscopy. We are able to recover and strength previous results pointing to a sequence on the progenitor mass of different SN types. We also confirm no significant difference in the elemental abundances of the environment where different SN types exploded, measured with a more powerful technique such as Integral Field Spectroscopy (IFS).
