The ASAS-SN Bright Supernova Catalog $-$ II. 2015

Abstract

This manuscript presents information for all supernovae discovered by the All-Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN) during 2015, its second full year of operations. The same information is presented for bright ($m_V\le 17$), spectroscopically confirmed supernovae discovered by other sources in 2015. As with the first ASAS-SN bright supernova catalog, we also present redshifts and near-UV through IR magnitudes for all supernova host galaxies in both samples. Combined with our previous catalog, this work comprises a complete catalog of 455 supernovae from multiple professional and amateur sources, allowing for population studies that were previously impossible. This is the second of a series of yearly papers on bright supernovae and their hosts from the ASAS-SN team.

arXiv comment16 pages, 6 figures, 4 tables. Submitted to MNRAS. Tables containing the catalog data presented in this submission are included in machine-readable format as ancillary files. Manuscript updated to reflect changes made in the published version and to correct an error in the host galaxy magnitudes presented in Tables 3 and 4.
