SN 2011dh: Discovery of a type IIb supernova from a compact progenitor in the nearby galaxy M51

Show other versions (1)

On 2011 May 31 UT a supernova (SN) exploded in the nearby galaxy M51 (the Whirlpool Galaxy). We discovered this event using small telescopes equipped with CCD cameras and also detected it with the Palomar Transient Factory survey, rapidly confirming it to be a Type II SN. Here, we present multi-colo...
