Remarks:

Day after outburst refer to the quoted maximum observed X-ray fluxes and luminosities.
Information on SN 1987A is highly incomplete due to the rising X-ray flux and the ongoing observations.
Data and results on radio SNe are available at a web site operated by Kurt Weiler /NRL.
A list of SNe and SNRs websites is maintained by Marcos J. Montes /NRL.
