We present an update on the results of our monitoring observations of the X-ray remnant of supernova (SN) 1987A with the {\it Chandra X-Ray Observatory}. As of 2002 December, we have performed a total of seven observations of SN 1987A. The…

SN 1993J is the best-studied radio supernova, with observations using very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) spanning from within weeks of explosion through nearly three decades of ejecta evolution. Imaging and modeling techniques have…

We present optical observations of the Type IIb supernova (SN) 2017ckj, covering approximately 180 days after the explosion. Its early-time multi-band light curves display no clear evidence of a shock-cooling tail, resembling the behavior…

We report on multi-frequency Very Large Array (VLA) and Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) radio observations for a monitoring campaign of supernova SN$\,$2008iz in the nearby irregular galaxy M$\,$82. We fit two models to the data, a…

We present our observations of the radio emission from supernova (SN) 1993J, in M 81 (NGC 3031), made with the VLA, from 90 to 0.7 cm, as well as numerous measurements from other telescopes. The combined data set constitutes probably the…

We report on VLBI measurements of supernova 2014C at several epochs between $t = 384$ and 1057 days after the explosion. SN 2014C was an unusual supernova that initially had Type Ib optical spectrum, but after $t = 130$ d it developed a…

As the shock and expanding shell of a supernova plow out through the circumstellar material at thousands of km/s, radio emission is generated. VLBI observations of this radio emission are presently the only means to directly image the…

Initially classified as a supernova (SN) type Ib, $\sim$ 100 days after the explosion SN\,2014C made a transition to a SN type II, presenting a gradual increase in the H${\alpha}$ emission. This has been interpreted as evidence of…

There was a bright, transient companion spot to SN1987A with a projected distance of about 17 light-days, observed by optical speckle interferometry one to two months after explosion. It is shown here that the bright spot may be due to a…

We report on 8.4GHz Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations of the type II-P supernova SN2004et in the spiral galaxy NGC 6946, made on 20 February 2005 (151 days after explosion). The Very Large Array (VLA) flux density was…

We have been monitoring the supernova remnant (SNR) 1987A with {\it Chandra} observations since 1999. Here we report on the latest change in the soft X-ray light curve of SNR 1987A. For the last $\sim$1.5 yr (since day $\sim$8000), the soft…

Supernova 1987A in the Large Magellanic Cloud provides a spectacularly detailed view of the aftermath of a core-collapse explosion. The supernova ejecta initially coasted outward at more than 10% of the speed of light, but in 1990 were…

[SHORTENED VERSION] Observations of radio emission from young core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) allow one to study the history of the pre-supernova stellar wind, trace the density structure of the ejected material, and probe the…
