Description
A table of supernovae observed at radio wavelengths, collected from published and unpublished references. It is admittedly incomplete and we are expanding it as time and resources permit. While not all upper limits are provided in this table, most of the radio 3-sigma nondetections are at <1 mJy levels and most use the NRAO's VLA. Radio detections (DT) and light curves (LC) are published in the associated literature and only listed by the supernova name here.

Earlier limits (3-sigma upper limits >2 mJy) may be found in:
a) de Bruyn 1973, A&A 26, 105
b) Brown & Marscher 1978, ApJ 220, 467

Key

Col 1: Supernova Name
Col 2: Supernova Type: various sources
Col 3: Radio Status: DT = detection; LC = light curve; otherwise, if listed, three sigma upper limit
Col 4: Observing Band [cm]
Col 5: Date of Observation
Col 6: Three Sigma Upper Limit (if readily available) [mJy]
Col 7: Host Galaxy Name
Col 8: References (incomplete)
