Obs intervals
Control time (multi epochs)
For SN Ia, 92% of the observations use the obs interval for the control time ~ a nearly continuous coverage!

Detailed log files• The limiting magnitude was calculated for every single
observation over the course of the survey.• (Not done for previous nearby SN rate calculations.)

Radial distribution of LOSS SNe
Survey completnessa) We missed ~1% (5-10) of SNe near the galaxy nucleii.
b) We missed very few SNe otherwise.Repeated survey with a small interval;Heavy SN search competition in these nearby galaxies

ConclusionsConclusionsUncertainties are significantly reduced• Increased number of SNe (~140 vs. ~600)• No inclination correction factor• CCD camera and image subtraction• Limiting magnitude calculated for every obs
SN rates normalized in K band:• Nearly continuous search for SNe Ia: rates are not strongly affected by light curve shape and extinction• For SNe Ibc and II, the impact of different peak mag for the chosen light curve can be easily quantified.• The SN II light curve shape plays an important role in the rate calculation. • The rates increase from early to late type galaxies for all three types of SNe.

Work in progress/Future refinements
• Finalizing rates normalized in B and mass• More SN bins (e.g., IIn, IIb, II-P, II-L)• Rates vs environment: cluster, AGN, radio• More representative light curves (~1000 SNe have been monitored in the KAIT SN search unfiltered data: average light curve and luminosity function).
