A progenitor candidate for the type II-P supernova SN 2018aoq in NGC 4151

A progenitor candidate for the type II-P supernova SN 2018aoq in NGC 4151

We present our findings based on pre- and post-explosion data of the type II-Plateau SN 2018aoq that exploded in NGC 4151. As distance estimates to NGC 4151 vary by an order of magnitude, we utilised the well-known correlation between ejecta velocity and plateau brightness, i.e. the standard candle method, to …
