Description
The knowledge of the properties of supernovae (SNe) at optical wavelengths has experienced enormous progress in the current decade. In contrast, comparatively little is known about the SN behaviour in the near-infrared (NIR) window. Such a knowledge would give us relevant clues to key questions related to the nature of SN progenitors and to the interaction with SN environments. Hence, programs for NIR spectrophotometry of SNe of all supernova types are clearly useful, and the Long-Slit Intermediate Resolution Infrared Spectrograph (LIRIS) could be a good choice.
