The progenitors of SNe are varied, with the type Ib/c and II SNe having massive progenitors that explode on timescales of a few million to several tenths of million years. On the other hand, SNe Ia originate from low and intermediate mass stars, from CO white dwarfs in binary systems.The life timescales of SNe Ia progenitors can range up to a Hubble time or more. The studies of SNe of different types will provide a complete set of information about stellar and galactic evolution. The future large facilities such as the LSST, TMT, SKA, will enable studies of SNe to large distances, in addition to enabling detailed studies of the diversity in these objects. In this talk, I'll discuss the observational properties of supernovae, and also discuss the various aspects of SNe studies that can be addressed with the facilities of the future. |
