Scientific paper

We propose to carry out NAPA observations of bright, nearby core-collapse supernovae (SNe) to: (1) Determine the physics of SNe through the study of the mass-loss rate, absorption mechanisms, and density distribution of the circumstellar medium (CSM) laid down by the pre-SN stellar wind; (2) Improve our understanding of the various subgroupings (Type Ib, Ic, IIL, IIP, IIn, IIb) which characterise the range of SN progenitor systems; and (3) Provide targets for Chandra/Swift X-ray ToO which is sensitive to the thermal emission from the SN shock and, thus, complementary to the non-thermal radio observations. The unprecedented continuum sensitivity at 3cm now enabled by CABB significantly increases the population of supernovae that can be monitored, and permits us to follow the evolution of the nearest objects much longer than previously possible.
