Some past supernova surveys
· Historical surveys
­ Zwicky/Caltech/Palomar/POSS
· first systematic searches with the 18" Schmidt · only provider of SNe for a long time · spawned from the Caltech search

­ Asiago (Rosino)/Zimmerwald (Wild) ­ Rev. Evans, McNaught
· extremely successful amateur searches · very limited success (20 SNe in 2 years) · no rate paper every published

­ Las Campanas search (Tammann/Sandage ­ 1984-1986) ­ Berkeley automated search

· first automated search (from Leuschner Observatory) · successful search with photographic plates and CCD follow-up observations · coordinated spectroscopy · basis for SN cosmology by providing the nearby sample (Hamuy et al. 2006)

­ Calan/Tololo SN search (Maza/Hamuy/Phillips/Suntzeff - 1990s)


Nearby supernova surveys
· Nearby ­ z<0.03
mostly focused on prominent, large galaxies "stellar explosions look where the stars are"

­ amateurs

· many, over long periods · well organised (e.g. finding charts, networks, Web pages) · still find interesting objects, often find them early · · · · · KAIT (first Leuschner then Lick) running for over 15 years (11 years with KAIT ­ Weidong Li) >1000 SNe discovered ­ all types best nearby sample for SN rates results are being published

Some thoughts on current status
· Current SN discovery rate substantial
­ During the past decade more SNe were observed than during the millennium before (half-point is late 2003) ­ Current searches are extremely effective
· not all supernovae are reported to the IAU any longer · effectively much higher statistics in the last few years

­ Most reported supernovae are classified


Nearby supernovae
· More bright supernovae discovered


Surveys targeting SN progenitors
· SPY
­ search for white dwarf binaries that will merge within a Hubble time

· VLT-FLAMES Survey of Massive Stars · Smartt/VanDyk HST/Keck/VLT programs to detect massive stellar progenitors · X-ray surveys
­ Roelofs et al. 2008 ­ failed in this case, but still promising ­ X-ray all sky surveys ­ eROSITA?


m=30 m=26

Direct observations of SN progenitors
­ white dwarf: M10mag ­ giant: M-4mag
· white dwarf: D16kpc (100kpc for m=30) · giant: D10Mpc (60Mpc for m=30)

· Naively:

Cosmology - do we need more?
· Already in hand
­ >1000 SNe Ia for cosmology ­ constant determined to 5% ­ accuracy dominated by systematic effects
· reddening, correlations, local field, evolution

· Test for variable

­ required accuracy ~2% in individual distances ­ can SNe Ia provide this?
· · · · can the systematics be reduced to this level? homogeneous photometry? further parameters (e.g. host galaxy metalicity) handle >100000 SNe Ia per year?


· Increase in interesting supernovae
­ many more general searches
· remove paradigms

More supernovae

­ possible through the technological progress
· detectors, data storage, data handling and processing

­ Need to keep the overview

· Improved understanding
­ hints on explosion physics ­ statistical samples
· progenitor environments ­ `short fuse' required · rates clues on progenitor systems


· (Do we need a definition of what is a supernova?) · Do we need a central SN database?
­ collect all SN discoveries? ­ IAU database outdated and not capable to supported most new searches

More supernovae

· Follow-up observations
­ classification ­ critical to explore the physics
· · · · · explosions nucleosynthesis asymmetries peculiarities masses
