摘要：Core collapse (CC) supernovae are exploding massive stars and are therefore expected to occur in the disks of spiral galaxies. However, in the historical record some CC SNae can be noticed outside the disks. To investigate this further, the distribution of SNae above and below the disks of spiral galaxies is examined for the case of edge-on galaxies. The CC SNae that are observed away from their parent Population I in the galaxy planes must previously have left the disks due to dynamical encounters or SN explosions of companion stars. We develop a simple interpretative model that describes the observed height distribution of the SNae, taking into account kick veloc- ities imparted during the explosive events. We also briefly comment on the radial distribution of SNae, utilizing face-on galaxies for this purpose.
