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.

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'
This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
