Transient Name Server

[Paolo Berardi]

Perhaps you already know, it seems that there is a new place for immediate posting and follow-up observations of transient objects, mainly used for supernovae: the "Transient Name Server" by IAU Supernova Working Group.

Data organisation and query forms are very interesting. If available, photometric and spectroscopic data (with related analysis) are directly retrievable. For example, this is the page dedicated to the new bright PSN named AT 2016X (ASASSN-16at):

http://wis-tns.weizmann.ac.il/object/2016x

You find the plotted spectrum and photometry in the respective sections. You can also download the profile in standard FITS (FLOYDS spectrograph here). On the same page there is the transient classification (if available).

I saw that many informations are currently reported on ATELs too.
