Kelvin</a> We introduce a method for producing a galaxy sample unbiased by surface brightness and stellar mass, by selecting star-forming galaxies via the positions of core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe). Whilst matching $sim$2400 supernovae from the SDSS-II Supernova Survey to their host galaxies using IAC Stripe 82 legacy coadded imaging, we find $sim$150 previously unidentified low surface brightness galaxies (LSBGs). Using a sub-sample of $sim$900 CCSNe, we infer CCSN-rate and star-formation rate densities as a function ofRead More →
