Descripción
The CHilean Automatic Supernova sEarch (CHASE) project began in 2007
with the goal to discover young, nearby southern supernovae in order to
(1) better understand the physics of exploding stars and their
progenitors, and (2) refine the methods to derive extragalactic
distances. During the first four years of operation, CHASE has produced
more than 130 supernovae, being the most successful project of its type
in the southern hemisphere. Here we describe the project and present
illustrative examples of CHASE discoveries of particular relevance.
