Query: Supernova rates from the Southern inTermediate Redshift ESO Supernova
  Search (STRESS)   To measure the supernova (SN) rates at intermediate redshift we performed the
Southern inTermediate Redshift ESO Supernova Search (STRESS). Unlike most of
the current high redshift SN searches, this survey was specifically designed to
estimate the rate for both type Ia and core collapse (CC) SNe. We counted the
SNe discovered in a selected galaxy sample measuring SN rate per unit blue band
luminosity. Our analysis is based on a sample of ~43000 galaxies and on 25
spectroscopically confirmed SNe plus 64 selected SN candidates. Our approach is
aimed at obtaining a direct comparison of the high redshift and local rates and
at investigating the dependence of the rates on specific galaxy properties,
most notably their colour. The type Ia SN rate, at mean redshift z=0.3, amounts
to 0.22^{+0.10+0.16}_{-0.08 -0.14} h_{70}^2 SNu, while the CC SN rate, at
z=0.21, is 0.82^{+0.31 +0.30}_{-0.24 -0.26} h_{70}^2 SNu. The quoted errors are
the statistical and systematic uncertainties. With respect to local value, the
CC SN rate at z=0.2 is higher by a factor of ~2 already at redshift, whereas
the type Ia SN rate remains almost constant. This implies that a significant
fraction of SN Ia progenitors has a lifetime longer than 2-3 Gyr. We also
measured the SN rates in the red and blue galaxies and found that the SN Ia
rate seems to be constant in galaxies of different colour, whereas the CC SN
rate seems to peak in blue galaxies, as in the local Universe. SN rates per
unit volume were found to be consistent with other measurements showing a
steeper evolution with redshift for CC SNe with respect to SNe Ia. Finally we
have exploited the link between star formation (SF) and SN rates to predict the
evolutionary behaviour of the SN rates and compare it with the path indicated
by observations.
