Detected Supernovae . The search have produced till now the detections of 4 SNe. ... This result highlights the power of infrared monitoring in detecting Obscured SNe and indicates that optical surveys are probably missing a significant fraction of SNe, especially in obscured systems such as starburst galaxies. ... In Fig. we show the archival SOFI image of NGC3256 (left) and the first image obtained in 2001 (right) where SN2001db has been detected. ...

... INSTRUMENT: SurveyCam FILTERS: Stromgren uvby, 2" square COMMENTS: remote observations are expected BRIEF SCIENCE JUSTIFICATION: Last decade numerous faint structures at the periphery of regular galaxies, as arcs, tails, or streams, have been discovered (see e.g. Martinez-Delgado et al., ... The broad-band photometry is used for observing the faint structures, but it does not allow to break the age-metallicity degeneracy efficiently. ...
