Hundreds of Swift Supernovae

For a conference in Stockholm I made this excessive plot to show off the amount of Swift data we have.  The legend gives a complete (I think) list of the over 600 supernovae we've observed with Swift.  Plotted are the uvm2 absolute magnitudes and uvm2-v colors of all the supernova data I had on my laptop, accounting for about half of all the supernovae.  That means there is still some more data reduction to be done, but also a huge sample of supernova data to be doing science with.
