Comprehensive Supernova Catalog: Redshift, DM, DM Err & Position Data

AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking a comprehensive catalog of type Ia supernovae that includes redshift, distance modulus, distance modulus error, and galactic coordinates. They have found partial data from various sources but none that compile all required information. Recommendations include using the Vizier database, which is noted for its extensive astronomical catalogs, and specifically catalog J/ApJ/716/712. The user confirms that Vizier provided the complete data they were looking for. This highlights the importance of utilizing specialized astronomical databases for comprehensive research.

I need a list of type Ia supernova with redshifts, Distance Modulus, Distance modulus error, and position in galactic coordinates, but I havn't been able to find one that has all of that information (I have found several with some of the information, but not all of it). Does anyone know where I can find a supernova catalog with all of this?

EDIT: I already looked here (http://supernova.lbl.gov/), which had the redshift and distance modulus data but not position data, and here (http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/W3Browse/all/asiagosn.html), which had the opposite. I tried merging the list but it seems as though the reported supernova names are slightly different (or I'm just unable of merging them properly).

Thanks!

You might try SIMBAD or NED but I'm not sure if they will have exactly what you need.
 


I finally found the information I was looking for here:

http://vizier.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/VizieR

This is by far the most comprehensive supernova catalog I have ever seen, by the way.
 


Yes, Vizier is always a good place for astronomical catalogs. Catalog J/ApJ/716/712, among others, is probably what you are seeking.

Is a homemade radio telescope realistic? There seems to be a confluence of multiple technologies that makes the situation better than when I was a wee lad: software-defined radio (SDR), the easy availability of satellite dishes, surveillance drives, and fast CPUs. Let's take a step back - it is trivial to see the sun in radio. An old analog TV, a set of "rabbit ears" antenna, and you're good to go. Point the antenna at the sun (i.e. the ears are perpendicular to it) and there is...
3I/ATLAS, also known as C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) and formerly designated as A11pl3Z, is an iinterstellar comet. It was discovered by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) station at Río Hurtado, Chile on 1 July 2025. Note: it was mentioned (as A11pl3Z) by DaveE in a new member's introductory thread. https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/brian-cox-lead-me-here.1081670/post-7274146 https://earthsky.org/space/new-interstellar-object-candidate-heading-toward-the-sun-a11pl3z/ One...
