of a massive, evolved star just prior to core collapse (a) the onion-layered shells of elements undergo fusion, forming an iron core (b) that reaches Mch and starts to collapse (c) causing infalling material to bounce (d) and form an outward-propagating shock front. The shock starts to stall, (e) but it is re-invigorated. The surrounding material blasted away, (f) leaving only a degenerate remnant.

are infant SN important ? • Examples of (i)PTF infant SN WDSN CCSN iPTF14atg, SN2011fe iPTF13ast • Preview: from PTF to ZTF See also Yaron et al. 2017, Nature of SN2013fs
220-280nm, 250 square degree small (~1-3m), light(~100kg), cheap (~$100M) collect early UV light curves of CCSN+WDSN, measure the radii (or orbit separation in the case of SD Ia) and surface composition
(iPTF14atg) and DD (SN2011fe) progenitor systems by rapid UV & optical follow up. • CCSN: the first flash spectroscopy of H-deficient CCSN (iPTF13ast), confirm progenitor to be a W-R star. PTF has opened/revolutionized the field of infant supernova. ZTF will step forward to extend these single-objects to a large sample of infant supernovae, stay tuned ! Thanks for listening !
