Swift Supernovae




Overview:

Below is a list of supernovae (SNe) observed by Swift, along with Swift UVOT optical (V,B,U), UV (UVW1,UVM2,UVW2) and XRT X-ray images, as well as UVOT lightcurves where available. The start and end times (given with respect to the maximum in the B-band for Type Ia SNe and from the explosion dates for all other SN types) are merely estimates to give an idea of the scope of this program. If you use material from this web site, please give credit to:
