| Abstract: | Ultraviolet (UV) data are powerful tools to understand supernovae (SNe). Currently, the Swift satellite is the best suited telescope available for SN UV studies, due to its photometric and spectroscopic capabilities and its fast response. We present recent results obtained with the Swift SN program, demonstrating the importance of the UV emission, which provides fundamental information about SN explosion mechanism, its environment and progenitor structure. |
