Abstract
We present the results of the one-year long observational campaign of the type II plateau SN 2005cs, which exploded in the nearby spiral galaxy M51 (the Whirlpool galaxy). This extensive data set makes SN 2005cs the best observed low-luminosity, ^(56)Ni-poor type II plateau event so far and one of the best core-collapse supernovae ever. The optical and near-infrared spectra show narrow P-Cygni lines characteristic of this SN family, which are indicative of a very low expansion velocity (about 1000 km s^(−1) ) of the ejected material. The optical light curves cover both the plateau phase and the late-time radioactive tail, until about 380 d after core-collapse. Numerous unfiltered observations obtained by amateur astronomers give us the rare opportunity to monitor the fast rise to maximum light, lasting about 2 d. In addition to optical observations, we also present near-infrared light curves that (together with already published ultraviolet observations) allow us to construct for the first time a reliable bolometric light curve for an object of this class. Finally, comparing the observed data with those derived from a semi-analytic model, we infer for SN 2005cs a ^(56)Ni mass of about 3 × 10^(−3) M⊙, a total ejected mass of 8–13 M⊙ and an explosion energy of about 3 × 10^(50) erg .

This paper is also based on observations made with the Italian Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG) operated on the island of La Palma by the Fundaci´on Galileo Galilei of the INAF (Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica), with the William Herschel and Liverpool Telescopes operated on the island of La Palma by the Isaac Newton Group at the Spanish Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos of the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias, and with the AZT-24 Telescope (Campo Imperatore, Italy) operated jointly by Pulkovo observatory (St Petersburg, Russia) and INAF Observatorio Astronomico di Roma/Collurania. The paper made also use of observations collected at the INAF-Asiago Observatory and at the Centro Astron´omico Hispano Alem´an (CAHA) at Calar Alto, operated jointly by the Max-Planck-Institut für Astronomie and the Instituto de Astrof´ısica de Andaluc´ıa (CSIC).
