# The ASAS-SN Bright Supernova Catalog -- III. 2016

## TL;DR

This paper presents a comprehensive catalog of bright supernovae discovered in 2016, including their host galaxy data, expanding the ongoing series of supernova surveys by the ASAS-SN team.

## Contribution

It provides the third annual catalog of bright supernovae, combining discoveries from ASAS-SN and other sources, with detailed host galaxy information and supernova offsets.

## Key findings

- Total of 668 supernovae cataloged since 2014
- Type distribution closely matches ideal magnitude-limited samples
- Includes supernovae from multiple discovery sources

## Abstract

This catalog summarizes information for all supernovae discovered by the All-Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN) and all other bright ($m_{peak}\leq17$), spectroscopically confirmed supernovae discovered in 2016. We then gather the near-IR through UV magnitudes of all host galaxies and the offsets of the supernovae from the centers of their hosts from public databases. We illustrate the results using a sample that now totals 668 supernovae discovered since 2014 May 1, including the supernovae from our previous catalogs, with type distributions closely matching those of the ideal magnitude limited sample from Li et al. (2011). This is the third of a series of yearly papers on bright supernovae and their hosts from the ASAS-SN team.
