The name "supernovae" is thought to have been coined by Walter Baade and Zwicky in lectures at Caltech in 1931. It was used, as "super-Novae", in a journal paper published by Knut Lundmark in 1933, [25] and in a 1934 paper by Baade and Zwicky. [26] By 1938, the hyphen was no longer used and the modern name was in use. [27]
