This is due to the different potential formation channels and the stripping mechanism that allows for a large diversity within the progenitors outer envelope compositions. Here, the photometric and spectroscopic observations of SN 2020cpg covering ∼130 d from the explosion date are presented. SN 2020cpg (z = 0.037) is a bright SE-SNe with the B-band peaking at MB = −17.75 ± 0.39 mag and a maximum pseudo-bolometric luminosity of Lmax = 6.03 ± 0.01 × 1042 erg s−1. Spectroscopically, SN2020cpg displays a weak high- and low-velocity H α feature during the photospheric phase of its evolution, suggesting that it contained a detached hydrogen envelope prior to explosion. From comparisons with spectral models, the mass of hydrogen within the outer envelope was constrained to be ∼0.1 M . From the pseudo-bolometric light curve of SN 2020cpg a 56Ni mass of MNi ∼ 0.27 ± 0.08M was determined using an Arnett-like model. The ejecta mass and kinetic energy of SN 2020cpg were determined using an alternative method that compares the light curve of SN 2020cpg and several modelled SE-SNe, resulting in an ejecta mass of Mejc ∼ 5.5 ± 2.0 M and a kinetic energy of EK ∼ 9.0 ± 3.0 × 1051 erg. The ejected mass indicates a progenitor mass of 18−25 M . The use of the comparative light curve method provides an alternative process to the commonly used Arnett-like model to determine the physical properties of SE-SNe.}, organization = {H2020 ERC 758638}, organization = {UK Research & Innovation (UKRI)}, organization = {Science & Technology Facilities Council (STFC) R27610}, organization = {European Southern Observatory (ESO) 1103.D-0328(J)}, organization = {European Commission H2020-MSCA-IF-2018-842471 839090 730890 PGC2018-095317-B-C21}, organization = {Polish National Science Center (NCN) MAESTRO 2014/14/A/ST9/00121}, organization = {CONICYT PFCHA/DOCTORADOBECAS CHILE/2017-72180113}, organization = {Royal Astronomical Society Research Fellowship}, organization = {National Science Foundation (NSF) AST-1911225 AST-1911151}, organization = {UK Research & Innovation (UKRI)}, organization = {Science & Technology Facilities Council (STFC)}, organization = {National Aeronautics & Space Administration (NASA) NN12AR55G 80NSSC18K0284 80NSSC18K1575}, organization = {ESO programme 1103.D-0328}, publisher = {Oxford University Press}, keywords = {Supernovae: general}, keywords = {Supernovae: individual (SN 2020cpg)}, title = {SN 2020cpg: an energetic link between Type IIb and Ib supernovae}, doi = {10.1093/mnras/stab1761}, author = {Medler, K. and Galbany González, Lluis}, }
