Description:
A listing is given of all supernovae discovered between 1989 January 1
and 1993 April 1. The data show no evidence for a significant
dependence of the discovery probability of supernovae on parent galaxy
inclination to the line of sight. If no inclination corrections need
to be applied, then the supernova rates in spirals are only about half
as large as previously believed. The mean linear separation of
supernovae of type II (SNe II) from the center of their parent galaxy
increases with increasing distance (Shaw effect). The Shaw effect
appears less evident, or absent, for (more luminous) supernovae of
type Ia. The data are consistent with, but do not prove, the
hypothesis that (presumably reddened) SNe II are more likely to be
discovered in the red than in the blue. Due to intensive surveillance,
most bright SNe Ia tend to be found before maximum, whereas the
majority of faint SNe Ia are discovered after maximum light.

Note (1): N = NGC, I = IC, U = UGC.
The letters E and M indicate that the galaxy is listed in the
ESO (Lauberts 1982) or MCG (Vorontsov-Velyaminov et al. 1962-1974)
Catalogs, respectively
Note (2): Galaxy classification types were, in order of preference, drawn from
(a) Sandage and Tammann (1981) (Catalogue VII/51)
(b) an unpublished catalog of DDO classifications by the present author
(c) de Vaucouleurs et al. (1991) (RC3, Catalogue VII/155)
(d) Lauberts (1982) (Catalogue VII/34B)
Note (3): Galaxy radial velocity, preferentially drawn from the optical
heliocentric listing of de Vaucouleurs et al. (1991)
Note (4): Both mpg, blue and B are called B, MJ is designated J, mpv and
V are both indicated by V, r and R are both called as R. For a few
supernovae I or K discovery magnitudes are listed
Note (5): individual notes:
1 Offset from nucleus given as 25" NE in IAU Circular 4758.
2 Offsets provided by Tsvetkov et al.
3 Offset from nucleus given as 5.8" SW in IAUC 5046.
4 According to IAUC 4959 this is a compact HII region, not a supernova
5 Type II-P supernova according to Schmidt et al. (1993).
6 IAUC 5111 gives type Ib, whereas IAUC 5129 assigns a type Ic.
7 Located between two galaxies. Quoted position is that of the
supernova.
8 Not a supernova according to IAUC 5270.
9 Quasar according to IAUC 5328.
10 The "anonymous" galaxy in IAUC 5356 is, in fact, MCG 4-6-29.
11 It is not clear whether the position quoted in IAUC 5446 refers to
the galaxy or to the supernovae.
12 According to IAUC 5468 possibly a subluminous SNIa like SN1991bg.
13 Foreground M star according to IAUC 5528.
14 Occurred 4"N of SN 1992R (Gomez & Lopez 1993).
15 Supernova located 45" from nucleus.
16 On the basis of photometry Pennypacker et al. (IAUC 5652) claim
that this supernova was probably of type Ia.
