Abstract (from CDS):

We present measurements of the local core-collapse supernova (CCSN) rate using SN discoveries from the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF). We use a Monte Carlo simulation of hundreds of millions of SN light-curve realizations coupled with the detailed PTF survey detection efficiencies to forward model the SN rates in PTF. Using a sample of 86 CCSNe, including 26 stripped-envelope SNe (SESNe), we show that the overall CCSN volumetric rate is rCCv=9.10–1.27+1.56×10–5 SNe yr–1 Mpc–3 h703 at <z> = 0.028, and the SESN volumetric rate is rSEv=2.41–0.64+0.81×10–5 SNe yr–1 Mpc–3 h703. We further measure a volumetric rate for hydrogen-free superluminous SNe (SLSNe-I) using eight events at z <= 0.2 of rSLSN–Iv=35–13+25 SNe yr–1Gpc–3 h703, which represents the most precise SLSN-I rate measurement to date. Using a simple cosmic star formation history to adjust these volumetric rate measurements to the same redshift, we measure a local ratio of SLSN-I to SESN of ∼1/810+1500–94, and of SLSN-I to all CCSN types of ∼1/3500+2800–720. However, using host galaxy stellar mass as a proxy for metallicity, we also show that this ratio is strongly metallicity dependent: in low-mass (logM* < 9.5 M) galaxies, which are the only environments that host SLSN-I in our sample, we measure an SLSN-I to SESN fraction of 1/300+380–170 and 1/1700+1800–720 for all CCSN. We further investigate the SN rates a function of host galaxy stellar mass, and show that the specific rates of all CCSNe decrease with increasing stellar mass.
