We have computed new estimates of the local rates of supernovae (SNe) adding the updated log of Evans' visual search to our SN search database. In this way, we have accumulated the largest SN statistics ever assembled for this purpose. The new SN rates are corrected on an empirical basis for the bias in the inner regions of galaxies and that in inclined spirals. We also tested an alternative approach based on the simple model proposed by Hatano et al. (1998) for the SN and dust distribution in spirals. It turns out that, although the two approaches give similar average rates, the Hatano et al. model appears to overcorrect the SN rate of distant galaxies. We used these updated statistics to probe the SN rates with different tracers of the star formation activity in galaxies, namely integrated colors, infrared luminosities and nuclear activities. We found a clear relation between the core-collapse SN rate and the integrated galaxy color, which appears consistent with the prediction of galaxy evolutionary models. We also compared SN rates in galaxies with different L_FIR with unfavorable outcome, and we argue that L_FIR is not a universal measurement of SFR. Finally, we confirm that the SN rate is not enhanced in AGN host galaxies which indicates that the nuclear engine does not significantly stimulate the extranuclear SF.

  1. The mass-dependent interplay of active galacitc nuclei and supernova feedback in shaping the $L_{\rm X}$--$T$ relation of early-type galaxies

    astro-ph.GA 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Mass-dependent coupling of AGN winds and supernovae, including a metal-lifting fountain in dwarfs, explains the steep L_X-T relation of early-type galaxies.

  2. The impact of stellar binaries and star cluster dynamics on pair-instability supernovae

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Binary interactions and cluster dynamics boost PISN rates by up to 3x versus single stars, enabling constraints on stellar-wind mass loss and galaxy metallicity distributions.

  3. The power of binaries on stripped-envelope supernovae across metallicity: uniform progenitor parameter space and persistently low ejecta masses, but subtype diversity

    astro-ph.SR 2025-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A population synthesis with detailed binary grids shows stripped-envelope supernovae mostly come from primary stars stripped by stable mass transfer, with a flat total rate across metallicity but strong subtype variation.

  4. Neutron star-companion interaction in core collapse supernovae. Population synthesis based on detailed binary evolution models

    astro-ph.SR 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Population synthesis from binary evolution models predicts periodic neutron star-companion interactions in more than half of surviving hydrogen-poor core-collapse supernovae, with periods peaking at 20-50 days and las...

  5. Are Local Group Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies the First Safe Planet-hosting Environments?

    astro-ph.GA 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Local Group dwarf spheroidals, especially ultra-faint dwarfs, could have hosted safe terrestrial planets for billions of years, if planet formation can occur at very low metallicity.
