Type II supernovae from the Carnegie Supernova Project-I

In a series of three articles led by Laureano Martinez  and published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics we have analyzed the largest and most homogeneous database of observations of hydrogen-rich supernovae with the aim of knowing the properties of the stellar progenitors and the physical characteristics that gave rise to these explosions. Martinez, L., […]
