We use the Sloan Digital Sky Survey II Supernova Survey ( SDSS-II SNS ) data to measure the volumetric core collapse supernova ( CCSN ) rate in the redshift range ( 0.03 < z < 0.09 ) .
Using a sample of 89 CCSN we find a volume-averaged rate of 1.06 { \pm } 0.19 \times 10 ^ { -4 } \frac { ( h / 0.7 ) ^ { 3 } } { ( \mathrm { yr } \mathrm { Mpc } ^ { 3 } ) } at a mean redshift of 0.072 \pm 0.009 .
We measure the CCSN luminosity function from the data and consider the implications on the star formation history .
