SNRcat supernova remnant catalog.

SNRcat is a census of high-energy observations of Galactic supernova remnants.

This function downloads the following CSV-format tables and adds some useful columns and unit information:

• http://www.physics.umanitoba.ca/snr/SNRcat/SNRdownload.php?table=SNR
• http://www.physics.umanitoba.ca/snr/SNRcat/SNRdownload.php?table=OBS

This only represents a subset of the information available in SNRcat, to get at the rest we would have to scrape their web pages.

• table (Table) – SNR info table
• obs_table (Table) – High-energy observation info table

Each table has a version string containing the download date in the table.meta dictionary.
