Using the environment to understand supernova properties

We present three studies that use supernova (SN) environments within host galaxies (HGs) to constrain SNe properties. These studies are ordered from an indirect approximation to a direct determination of the environmental parameters of the SN. We find correlations between the galactocentric distance and several parameters measured from both the SN light-curve (LC) and the host galaxy spectroscopy. We are able to recover and strength previous results pointing to a sequence on the progenitor mass of different SN types. We also confirm no significant difference in the elemental abundances of the environment where different SN types exploded, measured with a more powerful technique such as Integral Field Spectroscopy (IFS).
