Sternberg Astronomical Institute Catalog of Supernovae
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
This table comprises the Sternberg Astronomical Institute (SAI) Catalog of Supernovae.
Description
This version contains data on 2991 extragalactic supernovae (SNe) which were discovered from 1885 until December 12, 2004 and on their host galaxies. Data for host galaxies were compiled from the following catalogues: (1) RC3 (de Vaucouleurs et al. 1991, Cat. <VII/155>); (2) UGC (Nilson 1973.
Cat. <VII/26>); (3) PGC (Paturel et al. 1989, Cat. <VII/119>); (4) MCG (Vorontsov-Velyaminov et al. 1962-1968, Cat. <VII/62>, <VII/100>); (5) ESO (Lauberts 1982, Cat. <VII/34>); (6) CfA (Huchra et al. 1994, see Cat <VII/193>), and (7) from van den Bergh (1994, Cat. <J/ApJS/92/219>). The main source of morphological types, major diameters and axial ratios was the RC3; the data from other sources were reduced to the system of RC3.

Photographic magnitudes of galaxies were adopted from the UGC and the PGC together with individual data from the literature. The sources of recession velocities or cz values were the RC3, the CfA, the PGC and IAU Circulars. Position angles were taken from the RC3, UGC and the ESO catalogues, and inclination angles were mainly derived from data in RC3 according to Holmberg (1958MeLu2.136....1H).
Some data for SNe and host galaxies were adopted from the GCVS (Samus et al. 1995, Cat. <II/205>). This table was created by the HEASARC in June 2005 based on CDS table II/256/sn.dat. Notice that the number of entries (2991) is more than the number of 2780 mentioned in the published reference: this is apparently due to the fact that the CDS table contains supernovae as recent as December 12, 2004, while the latter is complete only until January 6, 2004.
