The progenitors of core-collapse supernovae
In the last decade our understanding of supernovae and the late-phases of stellar evolution has been revolutionised by the direct detection of the progenitors of core-collapse supernovae. I will review recent results from efforts to identify the progenitors of supernovae in pre-explosion images, and present new results demonstrating the power of late-time imaging with the Hubble Space Telescope to illuminate their properties.
