The optical properties of three Type II supernovae: 2014cx, 2014cy, and 2015cz

The optical properties of three Type II supernovae: 2014cx, 2014cy, and 2015cz

We present the photometric and spectroscopic analysis of three Type II SNe: 2014cx, 2014cy and 2015cz. SN 2014cx is a conventional Type IIP with a shallow slope (0.2 mag/50d) and an atypical short plateau ($\sim$86 d). SNe 2014cy and 2015cz show relatively large decline rates (0.88 and 1.64 mag/50d, respectively) …
