Integral field spectroscopy of supernova explosion sites: constraining
  mass and metallicity of the progenitors -- II. Type II-P and II-L supernovae
  Thirteen explosion sites of type II-P and II-L supernovae in nearby galaxies
have been observed using integral field spectroscopy, enabling both spatial and
spectral study of the explosion sites. We used the properties of the parent
stellar population of the coeval supernova progenitor star to derive its
metallicity and initial mass (c.f. Paper I). The spectrum of the parent stellar
population yields the estimates of metallicity via strong-line method, and age
via comparison with simple stellar population (SSP) models. These metallicity
and age parameters are adopted for the progenitor star. Age, or lifetime of the
star, was used to derive initial (ZAMS) mass of the star by comparing with
stellar evolution models. With this technique, we were able to determine
metallicity and initial mass of the SN progenitors in our sample. Our result
indicates that some type-II supernova progenitors may have been stars with mass
comparable to SN Ib/c progenitors.
