We present a catalog of X-ray supernovae (SNe) observed by the Swift satellite. An automatic program was developed to search for X-ray emissions from SNe using the Swift public data archive. X-ray images had been taken on a total of 522 SNe by the X-ray telescope (XRT) on board of Swift between November 2004 and November 2008, at different epochs after the supernova explosions. Applying a tailor-made source detection algorithm, we compiled a catalog of 25 X-ray SNe, of which 6 were newly-discovered and had not been listed in previous X-ray SN catalog: SN 1986L, SN 2000ey, SN 2003lx, SN2006Q, SN 2007od, and SN 2009jf. The Swift results were compared with previous observations taken by other X-ray missions, such as Chandra and ROSAT. In this poster, we presented the results of our study of the X-ray evolution of SNe.
