IR and Radio band observations of heavily extinguished regions in starburst galaxies suggest a very high SN rate associated with such regions. Optically measured supernova (SN) rates may therefore underestimate the total SN rate by factors…

Another outburst of the recurrent M31 nova M31N 2008-12a was announced in late November 2013. Optical data suggest an unprecedentedly short recurrence time of approximately one year. In this Letter we address the X-ray properties of M31N…

The recently discovered high energy emission from the recurrent nova RS Ophiuchi by Fermi-LAT ($>$ 100 MeV), H.E.S.S. and MAGIC ($>$ 100 GeV), hints towards a possible hadronic origin of this radiation component. From the observed high…

I derive the overall best distances for all 402 known galactic novae, and I collect their many properties. The centrepiece is the 74 novae with accurate parallaxes from the new Gaia data release. For the needed priors, I have collected 171…

A strategy is devised for a semi-coherent cross-correlation search for a young neutron star in the supernova remnant SNR 1987A, using science data from the Initial LIGO and/or Virgo detectors. An astrophysical model for the gravitational…

Models of Galactic 1.275 MeV emission produced by the decay of the radionuclide $^{22}$Na have been computed. Several frequency-spatial distributions of novae have been investigated using recent results of nova rates and spatial…

We report new results from an HST archival program to study proper motions in the optical jet of the nearby radio galaxy M87. Using over 13 years of archival imaging, we reach accuracies below 0.1c in measuring the apparent velocities of…

We present a new measurement of the volumetric rate of Type Ia supernova up to a redshift of 1.7, using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) GOODS data combined with an additional HST dataset covering the North GOODS field collected in 2004. We…

Supernova (SN) rates are a potentially powerful diagnostic of star formation history (SFH), metal enrichment, and SN physics, particularly in galaxy clusters with their deep, metal-retaining potentials, and simple SFH. However, a…

Radial velocities are presented for a new sample of globular clusters in the outer halo of M87 at a distance of 300 to 540 arcsec (24 to 43 kpc) from the center of this galaxy. These are used to augment our previously published data and an…

With the purpose to obtain new estimates of the rate of supernovae we joined the logs of five SN searches, namely the Asiago, Crimea, Cal{\'a}n-Tololo and OCA photographic surveys and the visual search by Evans (the sample counts 110 SNe).…

(Abridged) White dwarfs (WDs) undergoing unstable nuclear burning on their surfaces, resulting in the nova phenomenon, have been considered as one of the prospective candidates for the still elusive progenitors of SNeIa. We propose that…

We have detected 27 new supernova remnants (SNRs) using a new data release of the GLEAM survey from the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) telescope, including the lowest surface-brightness SNR ever detected, G0.1-9.7. Our method uses spectral…

More than 100 guest star observations have been obtained by Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Vietnamese astronomers between ~600 BCE and ~1690 CE. Comparing the coordinates from the information given in old texts for eight supernova recoveries…

We compute the rate of supernovae (SNe) of different types along the Hubble sequence normalized to the near-infrared luminosity and to the stellar mass of the parent galaxies. This is made possible by the new complete catalog of…

The nuclear region of M87 was observed with the Faint Object Spectrograph (FOS) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) at 6 epochs, spanning 18 months, after the HST image quality was improved with the deployment of the corrective optics…

This is the second paper of a series in which we present measurements of the Supernova (SN) rates from the SUDARE survey. In this paper, we study the trend of the SN rates with the intrinsic colours, the star formation activity and the mass…

We use a sample of 45 core collapse supernovae detected with the Advanced Camera for Surveys on-board the Hubble Space Telescope to derive the core collapse supernova rate in the redshift range 0.1<z<1.3. In redshift bins centered on…

Using a combination of ground-based and HST imaging, we have constructed a catalog of 179 supernova remnants (SNRs) and SNR candidates in the nearby spiral galaxy M51. Follow-up spectroscopy of 66 of the candidates confirms 61 of these as…

We present a detailed analysis of an extragalactic slow classical nova in M31 exhibiting multiple peaks in its light curve. Spectroscopic and photometric observations were used to investigate the underlying physical processes. Shock-induced…
