Optical Color of Type Ib and Ic Supernovae and Implications for Their Progenitors
Type Ib and Ic supernovae (SNe Ib/Ic) originate from hydrogen-deficient massive star progenitors, of which the exact properties are still much debated. Using SN data in the literature, we investigate the optical B − V color of SNe Ib/Ic at the V -band peak and show that SNe Ib are systematically blu...
