Description:
    This catalogue supersedes the previous version by Barbon et al.
    (1999A&AS..139..531B, Cat. II/227), and contains data about the
    supernovae observed since 1895 and their parent galaxies, and is
    regularly updated. In addition to the list of newly discovered SNe,
    the literature has been searched for new information on past SNe as
    well. The data for the parent galaxies have also been homogenized.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note (1): For 1992ak, in the original discovery report they forgot to give
     the direction of the offset, so n_x and and n_y were set to ?.
Note (2): lower-case bands stand for SDSS filters;
     '#' indicates radio discoveries
Note (3): The class 'IIn?' indicates the so-called 'impostors'
     (super-outbursts from very massive luminous blue variables like {eta} Car)
