Scientific paper

Swift is an ideal observatory for studying Type Ib/c supernovae. It is able to respond rapidly to newly discovered supernovae and it is able to obtain unique near-ultraviolet photometry and spectra. To date Swift has observed 11 SNe Ib/c with long-term follow-up on two of them. SN2006aj, which is associated with GRB 060218, was observed starting a few minutes after the explosion, making it the earliest detection of a SN. SN2006jc was followed from near maximum light until it faded into its host galaxy Mg II emission lines are seen in the UV spectrum, which are intepreted as evidence for circumstellar interaction.
