Astro notice web site?

#1

Post by pakarinen »


Once upon a time I had a bookmark for the web equivalent of IAU (Harvard?) notices on new supernovae, etc. I managed to delete the bookmark and can't find the site now. I did find the Astronomers' Telegram, but that seems to be an amateur aggregator.

Anybody know where the "real" notices can be found? Thanks!

Addendum:

I found this page, but it requires a subscription I think.

Still a lot of free info but it looks like you are correct about the subscriptions.
Was the amateur site any good and did you save a link to it?

Are you possibly talking about the Astronomer’s Telegram?

I had it bookmarked and of course, I deleted the bookmark. It was a good site IMO.

Similar to that, but a cleaner format. It had date lines and then links below the line for notices on that date. No searching or other functions.

No, but that does look interesting. I'm wondering if the site was taken down. You'd think there'd be some remnants out there that Google would pick up though. :think:

Addendum: Hah. Well, talk about self-fulfilling prophecy (sort of). I just found a thread on CN that said they got notices via CalSky. And CalSky is defunct, so maybe that solves the mystery. Or did CS get resurrected?

Addendum to addendum:
This might be the best bet. Looks kind of clunky to me, but it's not too bad.

From my bookmarks....

My goto site for supernovae is the "rochester" site which has a list of the brightest ones with links to ATel
https://www.rochesterastronomy.org/supernova.html

For Galactic novae, Koji Mukais simple webpage
https://asd.gsfc.nasa.gov/Koji.Mukai/novae/novae.html

Looks like the ATel has changed layout/format (it used to have a white background), but the index page is still quite useful.

Searches on info about particular supernovae/galactic novae often lead to the AAVSO or Spectro-Aras forums.
