time domain big data astronomy and supernovae Plethora of survey projects culminating with the LSST will transform SN science by providing unprecedented insights into supernova: Progenitors Environments
Time sensitivity Pre-SN variability Progenitor detection Late stage massive star evolution Stellar interactions Progenitor detection + Companions Light curve and spectral evolution – early detection important! Progenitor structure CSM interactions Remnants End-products of massive star evolution
Time sensitivity Reducing detection, classification and analysis overhead Need but lack comprehensive database of models in the relevant parameter space
A Systematic parameter space study of SN progenitors My work! Focus: Stripped Envelope Supernovae

Summary We find solar-metallicity, non-rotating single stars cannot be Type IIb progenitors Solar-metallicity, non-rotating binary stars can be Type IIb progenitors These systems have: Mass ratios > 0.6 3.2 < log10(Porb,i) < 3.6 Companion luminosity: 4 < log10(L/L☉)< 4.8 Predicted rate ~ 1% of all CC SNe
