Properties of 102 SNe and their 100 hosts

We use a well-defined sample of 102 nearby SNe appearing inside high-inclined (i>=85{deg}), morphologically non-disturbed S0-Sd host galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. For the first time, we show that in all the subsamples of spirals, the vertical distribution of core-collapse (CC) SNe is about twice closer to the plane of the host disc than the distribution of SNe Ia.

In Sb-Sc hosts, the exponential scale height of CC SNe is consistent with those of the younger stellar population in the Milky Way (MW) thin disc, while the scale height of SNe Ia is consistent with those of the old population in the MW thick disc. We show that the ratio of scale lengths to scale heights of the distribution of CC SNe is consistent with those of the resolved young stars with ages from ~10 up to ~100Myr in nearby edge-on galaxies and the unresolved stellar population of extragalactic thin discs.
