Abstract

We are promoting a supernova(SN) search project with medium size (60cm-105cm) telescopes belonging to public observatories in Japan. The main purpose is to measure the SNe Ia rate, which plays an important role in the chemical and dynamical evolution of galaxies. We expect to measure the SN rate in E/SO galaxies within the $35\%$ error after 2 years run, and the longer run will give the smaller error.
