Authors and Co-Authors : -- Abstract Type : Poster Abstract Category : Stars, The Milky Way Galaxy and its neighbours Abstract : Core collapse supernovae in massive stars (type-II SNe) have several implications for the chemical and physical evolution of the host galaxy. A statistical study of type-II SNe at low redshifts is presented here, using results obtained from the various transients detection programs. The aim is to study the distribution and the rate of various classes of core-collapse SNe, as a function of the morphology, the dynamical and the star-formation history of the local group of galaxies. Results on the nature of the progenitor (as a function of SNe-II morphology), obtained from our program to study bright, nearby, SNe-II,are also presented, and interpreted in the context of the evolutionary history of the local group of galaxies. |
