Discovery, progenitor and early evolution of a stripped envelope supernova iPTF13bvn

The intermediate Palomar Transient Factory reports our discovery of a young supernova, iPTF13bvn, in the nearby galaxy, NGC 5806 (22.5 Mpc). Our spectral sequence in the optical and infrared suggests a Type Ib classification.We identify a blue progenitor candidate in deep pre-explosion imaging withi...
