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.

Today at about 4:30 am I saw the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter, where they were about the width of the full moon, or one half degree apart. Did anyone else see it? Edit: The moon is 2,200 miles in diameter and at a distance of 240,000 miles. Thereby it subtends an angle in radians of 2,200/240,000=.01 (approximately). With pi radians being 180 degrees, one radian is 57.3 degrees, so that .01 radians is about .50 degrees (angle subtended by the moon). (.57 to be more exact, but with...
