Extragalactic Novae - 1998

This data comes from IAU Circulars and occasionally more data will be provided on IAU's Astronomical Headlines page.

Due to the large number of Extragalactic Novae announced in 2003 I have decided to give these novae their own archive, so that you don't need to hunt through the main 1998 supernova archive to find them.   Please note that I do not keep track of galactic novae.   This is a partial list of the Extragalactic Novae discovered in 1998.   Current Novae can be found on the main page.
