The ASAS-SN Bright Supernova Catalog -- V. 2018-2020
Abstract
We catalog the 443 bright supernovae discovered by the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) in 2018-2020 along with the 519 supernovae recovered by ASAS-SN and 516 additional mpeak≤18 mag supernovae missed by ASAS-SN. Our statistical analysis focuses primarily on the 984 supernovae discovered or recovered in ASAS-SN g-band observations. The complete sample of 2427 ASAS-SN supernovae includes earlier V-band samples and unrecovered supernovae. For each supernova, we identify the host galaxy, its UV to mid-IR photometry, and the offset of the supernova from the center of the host. Updated light curves, redshifts, classifications, and host galaxy identifications supersede earlier results. With the increase of the limiting magnitude to g≤18 mag, the ASAS-SN sample is roughly complete up to mpeak=16.7 mag and is 90\% complete for mpeak≤17.0 mag. This is an increase from the V-band sample where it was roughly complete up to mpeak=16.2 mag and 70\% complete for mpeak≤17.0 mag.
