supernova question?

"WG" wrote in message
...
Is there an online catalogue for supernovas which lists data?
specifically redshift and distances determined by light curves?

If I have this right, the distance determined by light curves [supernova as
standard candles], differs from distance determined by redshift [hubbles
law] by a significant amount.
This difference I believe was the reason why dark energy was postulated and
currently accepted.

Thanks

These days the data files are often published along with the papers
themselves. Probably on the CDS database. The links would be given with the
ADS listing of the papers, or you could try searching the CDS for catalogues
with supernova data. You might even find the spectra, etc. in FITS format.
You might well find tables of the data you need.
