The ASAS-SN bright supernova catalogue - IV. 2017

In this catalogue we compile information for all supernovae discovered by the All-Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN) as well as all other bright (mpeak ≤ 17), spectroscopically confirmed supernovae found in 2017, totalling 308 supernovae. We also present UV through near-IR magnitudes gathered from public databases of all host galaxies for the supernovae in the sample. We perform statistical analyses of our full bright supernova sample, which now contains 949 supernovae discovered since 2014 May 1, including supernovae from our previous catalogues. This is the fourth of a series of yearly papers on bright supernovae and their hosts from the ASAS-SN team, and this work presents updated data and measurements, including light curves, redshifts, classifications, and host galaxy identifications, that supersede information contained in any previous publications.
