Remnant of Chinese Supernova Scientists using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory have found new evidence that a pulsar in the constellation of Sagittarius was created when a massive star exploded, witnessed by Chinese astronomers in the year 386 AD. http://chandra.harvard.edu/press/01_releases/press_011001.html Very-Late-Type Spiral and Irregular Galaxy Supernova Search Current statistics of search at University of Iowa, movies of observed SNe. The rates in Sdm-Sm and Irr galaxies seem to be higher even than in late type Sbc-Sd galaxies. http://www-pw.physics.uiowa.edu/~cda/snproj/snproj_main.html International Supernovae Network Includes recent discoveries and technical information about finding supernovae. http://www.supernovae.net/isn.htm Supernovae Fundamentals of type I & II supernovae http://www-astronomy.mps.ohio-state.edu/%7Eryden/ast162_5/notes20.html Supernova, by HEASARC HEASARC: High Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center provides a short article regarding the high-energy aspects of supernovae explosions. http://legacy.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/snr.html Type 1a Supernovae and the Cosmological Constant Brief look at recent type Ia supernova data and the cosmological constant http://www.jupiterscientific.org/sciinfo/cosmology/cosmologicalconstant.html Supernova Taxonomy A discussion of the taxonomy of supernovae. http://rsd-www.nrl.navy.mil/7212/montes/snetax.html List of Recent Supernovae Huge index of recent supernovae, including date found, SN position, and host galaxy. http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/cfa/ps/lists/RecentSupernovae.html University of Texas Supernovae Research Includes research contacts, preprints, reviews and published papers by the Astronomy group of the University of Texas. http://hej3.as.utexas.edu/~www/SN/ Mr. Galaxy's Supernovae Nice brief introduction to Supernovae including information on the SunSEARCH program and how to find supernovae. http://www.chapman.edu/oca/benet/mrgalaxy.htm Latest Supernovae A list of the latest Supernovae with reference images. http://www.rochesterastronomy.org/supernova.html X-ray Astronomy: Supernovae and their remnants Brief NASA introduction to supernovae.
