About The CatalogScience content: Fred Seward, Patrick Slane, Randall Smith, and Terrance Gaetz (SAO); Bon-Chul Koo and Jea-Joon Lee (Astronomy Program, SEES, Seoul National University).Software: Jea-Joon Lee and Lisa Portolese (SAO). Maintenance: Fred Seward and Joan Hagler (SAO). The catalog displays shapes and spectra of galactic and Magellanic Cloud supernova remnants. Browsers should find much of interest. Figures and derived values are suitable for proposal preparation but, for serious research, readers might prefer to use their own filters, spectral fits, and analysis techniques. Regions containing each remnant have been extracted from public-archive, cleaned, Chandra ACIS fields. New data are added sporadically. Images in selected X-ray energy bands and at other wavelengths are all presented to the same scale. Some are smoothed to better visualize faint features. A three-color image illustrates spatial variations of spectra. Pulse height spectra are given for remnants as a whole and for selected features which vary from remnant to remnant. Tables give count rates, fluxes, and luminosities of remnants, and positions of serendipitous sources in the fields. Distances (from the literature) and column densities used to derive luminosities are included. For each remnant there is a downloadable event file and images in FITS,PS and JPG formats. A Latex version of each page is included. Since data were taken with the ACIS instrument, which has a field-of-view of 8'x8'or 16'x16', images of larger remnants are sometimes incomplete.
