SN 2009md: another faint supernova from a low-mass progenitor

We present adaptive optics imaging of the core-collapse supernova (SN) 2009md, which we use together with archival Hubble Space Telescope data to identify a coincident progenitor candidate. We find the progenitor to have an absolute magnitude of V=-4.63+0.3-0.4mag and a colour of V-I= 2.29+0.25-0.39...
