Tiivistelmä
Results. Using a single 2 m telescope (with a standard CCD camera) search we predict a detection rate of similar to 1.3 CCSNe yr(-1) in galaxies with metallicities below 12 + log(O/H) < 8.2 which are within a volume that will allow detailed follow-up with 4 m and 8 m telescopes (z = 0.04). With a network of seven 2 m telescopes we estimate similar to 9.3 CCSNe yr(-1) could be found, although this would require more than 1000 h of telescope time allocated to the network. Within the same radial distance, a volume-limited search in the future Pan-STARRS PS1 all-sky survey should uncover 12.5 CCSNe yr(-1) in low-metallicity galaxies. Over a period of a few years this would allow a detailed comparison of their properties. We then extend our calculations to determine the total numbers of CCSNe that can potentially be found in magnitude-limited surveys with PS1 (24 000 yr(-1), within z less than or similar to 0.6), PS4 (69 000 yr(-1), within z less than or similar to 0.8) and LSST (160 000 yr(-1), within z less than or similar to 0.9) surveys.
