[vsnet-chat 762] Re: [vsnet-alert 1547] Sn questions

[bas@lowell.Lowell.Edu (Brian Skiff)]

     In response to Rudolf's queries about supernovae:

1)  It is probably no longer overwhelmingly important to get lightcurves
of bright SNe, but often it will not be observed at all unless a student/
professional group decides to monitor it.

2)  It is a certainty that there are SNe to be found on the POSS prints.
Many have been found on the old POSS-I prints by Jean Mueller while she
searched the new POSS-II plates for supernovae.  Dozens are already
reported in the literature.  They certainly exist in other plate
collections as well.
