Abstract
Between September 2012 and July 2013, LCOGT deployed eight 1m telescopes around the world. Commissioning of the telescopes lasted until 2014 March when the LCOGT network of telescopes become operational (Brown et al. 2013). It was at this time we initiated our programme to obtain detailed follow-up observations of SNe II. To maximize the potential of the LCOGT network to contribute to our understanding of SNe II, we selected to monitor all objects located within 40 Mpc and having constraints on the explosion epoch of within one week or less, or a blue featureless spectrum which is typical of young SNe II. Objects selected for monitoring were discovered by various transient search surveys, and our main criterion for selection was the potential to collect data extending from soon after explosion to at least the end of the plateau phase. <P />The sample consists of 16 bright SNe II discovered in 2013 and 2014. (7 data files).
