Abstract (from CDS):

Using a parametric approach, we determine the configuration of super-asymptotic giant branch (super-AGB) stars at the explosion as a function of the initial mass and metallicity, in order to verify if the electron-capture supernova (EC-SN) scenario involving a super-AGB star is compatible with the observations regarding SN2008ha and SN2008S. The results show that both the supernovae (SNe) can be explained in terms of EC-SNe from super-AGB progenitors having a different configuration at the collapse. The impact of these results on the interpretation of other subluminous SNe is also discussed.
