Supernova Sighting

The Supernova Sighting project previously ran for 6 months in 2017 with data collected over that year. The classifiers were very successful and found 16 supernova in that time. Listed below are the names of the 48 candidate supernovae that were originally found by the volunteers!

We hope with the re-launch of this project with ABC Stargazing Live in 2018 that we’ll be just as successful.

Transients classified in the Supernova Sighting Project in 2017. Congratulations to all our volunteers!

The SMT name corresponds to our SkyMapper Transient name, the AT name the one obtained in the Transient Name Server (TNS and discoverers are listed in chronological order (only users that marked the object as good). The link is to the TNS page for this object.

Disclaimer: the TNS reporting authors is incomplete. It only contains users that have tagged the image with 'yes' before the report is produced.

The full list is in our webpage SkyMapper Transient Survey
