Bright but slow - Type II supernovae from OGLE-IV - Implications for
  magnitude limited surveys
  We study a sample of 11 Type II supernovae (SNe) discovered by the OGLE-IV
survey. All objects have well sampled I-band light curves, and at least one
spectrum. We find that 2 or 3 of the 11 SNe have a declining light curve, and
spectra consistent with other SNe II-L, while the rest have plateaus that can
be as short as 70d, unlike the 100d typically found in nearby galaxies. The
OGLE SNe are also brighter, and show that magnitude limited surveys find SNe
that are different than usually found in nearby galaxies. We discuss this
sample in the context of understanding Type II SNe as a class and their
suggested use as standard candles.
