Abstract
The launch of the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) satellite in early 1978 marked the beginning of a new era for SN studies because of its capability of measuring the ultraviolet emission of objects as faint as m B = 15. Moreover, just around that time other powerful astronomical instruments have become available, such as the Einstein Observatory for X-ray measurements, the VLA for observations at radio wavelengths and a number of new telescopes either dedicated to infrared observations (e.g. UKIRT and IRTF at Mauna Kea) or equipped with new and highly efficient IR instrumentation (e.g. AAT and ESO observatories). As a result, a wealth of new information has become available which, thanks to the coordinated effort of astronomers operating at widely different wavelengths, has provided us with fresh insights as for the properties and the nature of supernovae of both types.
