The UC Berkeley Filippenko Group's Supernova Database Home Page

Welcome to our Supernova Database (SNDB) home page!

For a further explanation of the SNDB please refer to BSNIP I (Silverman et al. 2012, MNRAS, 425, 1789).

If you use a significant amount of data from the SNDB: Please consider adding Jeffrey M. Silverman and Alexei V. Filippenko as co-authors.

SNDB

Below are two websites that allow you to interact with the SNDB.

phpMyAdmin - A great GUI interface that lets you easily search the public database (username and password are both anonymous).

SN Database Search Page - The main search page for the SNDB from the Filippenko Group at UC Berkeley. It allows you to search for supernovae, spectra, photometry, and light curves using a wide variety of search parameters. It also allows you to choose which fields you want displayed in the search results. It contains only previously published data and is open to anyone.

Download a tar file of all spectra here.

Here are the full tables from BSNIP I:

Table 1: SN Ia and Host Information PDF TXT
Table 2: SN Ia Spectral Information PDF TXT
Table 5: SNID v7.0 Spectral Templates PDF TXT
Table 7: SNID Classification Information PDF TXT

Plots of all of the fully reduced spectra, as well as galaxy-subtracted spectra, presented in BSNIP I are here. Spectral sequence plots for all objects in BSNIP I with more than 7 spectra are here. Plots of all objects for which (re-)classifications were made, compared to their best-matching SNID template, are here.

The SNID v7.0 Spectral Templates are here. To add the new templates to your version of SNID, follow these instructions.
