BOLOMETRIC AND UV LIGHT CURVES OF CORE-COLLAPSE SUPERNOVAE

Abstract

The Swift UV-Optical Telescope (UVOT) has been observing Core-Collapse\nSupernovae (CCSNe) of all subtypes in the UV and optical since 2005. We present\nhere 50 CCSNe observed with the Swift UVOT, analyzing their UV properties and\nbehavior. Where we have multiple UV detections in all three UV filters (\\lambda\nc = 1928 - 2600 \\AA), we generate early time bolometric light curves, analyze\nthe properties of these light curves, the UV contribution to them, and derive\nempirical corrections for the UV-flux contribution to optical-IR based\nbolometric light curves.\n
