Connecting supernovae with their environments
  We present MUSE observations of galaxy NGC 7469 from its Science Verification
to show how powerful is the combination of high-resolution wide-field integral
field spectroscopy with both photometric and spectroscopic observations of
supernova (SN) explosions. Using STARLIGHT and HIIexplorer, we selected all Hii
regions of the galaxy and produced 2- dimensional maps of the H{\alpha}
equivalent width, average luminosity-weighted stellar age, and oxygen
abundance. We measured deprojected galactocentric distances for all Hii
regions, and radial gradients for all above-mentioned parameters. We positioned
the type Ia SN 2008ec in the Branch et al. diagram, and finally discussed the
characteristics of the SN parent Hii region compared to all other Hii regions
in the galaxy. In a near future, the AMUSING survey will be able to reproduce
this analysis and construct statistical samples to enable the characterization
of the progenitors of different supernova types.
