We present photometric and spectrocsopic observations of SN2018zd, carried out at 9 telescopes, including the 6-m telescope of SAO RAN and the 2.5-m telescope of the Caucasus Mountain Observatory of the Sternberg Astronomical Institute. The dates and magnitudes of maximum brightness and the parameters of the light curves were determined. The photometric characteristics of SN2018zd allow to classify it as a transition event between SNe II-P and SNe II-L. The peculiar features of SN2018zd are sufficiently bright maximum luminosity MV = combined with low expansion velocity, large interval between maximum light and the start of exponential tail, slow reddening of colors (U − B), (B − V) after maximum light.

We present optical photometric observations of SN 2018aoq from 2 to 100 d after explosion, and 7 spectra at epochs from 11 to 71 d. The light curves and spectra are typical for SNe II-P. As previously reported, SN 2018aoq appears to be of intermediate brightness between subluminous and normal SNe II-P. SN 2018aoq was discovered in Seyfert galaxy NGC 4151, for which the distance is uncertain. We utilized the expanding photosphere method using three sets of filter combinations and velocities derived from the absorption minima of Fe  ii lines and obtained a distance of 20.0 ± 1.6 Mpc. The standard candle method applied to SN 2018aoq yields a distance of 16.6 ± 1.1 Mpc. Both values are consistent with the distance measurements for NGC 4151 based on geometric method.

We present the results of our UBVRI photometry for the type II-P supernova SN 2017eaw in NGC6946 obtained fromMay 14 to December 7, 2017, at several telescopes, including the 2.5-m telescope at the CaucasusHigh-Altitude Observatory of the SAIMSU. The dates andmagnitudes atmaximumlight and the light-curve parameters have been determined. The color evolution, extinction, and peak luminosity of SN 2017eaw are discussed. The results of our preliminary radiation-gasdynamic simulations of its light curves with the STELLA code describe satisfactorily the UBVRI observational data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The distributions of supernovae of different types and subtypes along the radius and in z coordinate of galaxies have been studied. We show that among the type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) in spiral galaxies, SNe Iax and Ia-norm have, respectively, the largest and smallest concentration to the center; the distributions of SNe Ia-91bg and Ia-91T are similar. A strong concentration of SNe Ib/c to the central regions has been confirmed. In spiral galaxies, the supernovae of all types strongly concentrate to the galactic plane; the slight differences in scale height correlate with the extent to which the classes of supernovae are associated with star formation.

The article presents the results on spectral and photometric observations of PSN J07285387+3349106 IN NGC 2388 V806 Cassiopeiae. The photometric observations of PSN J07285387+3349106, a rapidly declining luminous supernova, and in obtaining the maximum light in the BV R bands are noted. Results confirming the high value of interstellar reddening are discussed.

We present the results of our UBVRI CCD photometry for the second brightest supernova of 2009, SN 2009nr, discovered during a sky survey with the telescopes of the MASTER robotic network. Its light and color curves and bolometric light curves have been constructed. The light-curve parameters and the maximum luminosity have been determined. SN 2009nr is shown to be similar in light-curve shape and maximum luminosity to SN 1991T, which is the prototype of the class of supernovae Ia with an enhanced luminosity. SN 2009nr exploded far from the center of the spiral galaxy UGC 8255 and most likely belongs to its old halo population. We hypothesize that this explosion is a consequence of the merger of white dwarfs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We present our photometric observations of the 15 supernovae (SN) discovered in the period 1997–1999; of these, six are type Ia SN, two are peculiar type Ia SN, three are type Ib/c SN, and four are type II SN. For 11 SN, we constructed reliable light curves and determined their maximum brightnesses and absolute magnitudes at maximum. Based on the shapes of the light curves, we improved the classification for three type II SN. We show that the two peculiar type Ia SN (similar to SN 1991T) studied, SN 1998es and SN 1999aa, have enhanced and normal luminosities at maximum, respectively.© 2004 MAIK “Nauka / Interperiodica”.

We present the results of photometric observations of the type Ia supernovae SN 1995al, 1996bo, 1996bk, the type Ib/c supernova SN 1997X, and the type II supernova SN 1996an. The photometric characteristics of SN 1995al are close to the average for type Ia supernovae. Our analysis has revealed possible peculiarities in the light-curve shape and deviations from the average photometric parameters for SN 1996bk and 1996bo. Sn 1996an probably belongs to type IIP. The light curve of SN 1997X resembles that of the type Ic supernova SN 1994I. Light-curve parameters and absolute magnitude estimates are presented. © 2001 MAIK “Nauka / Interperiodica”.
