Definition
For $f_{k,i}(q)=\sum_{n\geq1}a_nq^n$, the $i$th normalised Hecke eigenform in $S_k(\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z}))$ [1] ordered by increasing embedded $a_2$, this table gives its Petersson norm $\langle f_{k,i},f_{k,i}\rangle$ [2].
Parameters
$k$
—   weight ($k$ is even and $\dim S_k(\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z}))>0$)
$i$
—   position by increasing $a_2$ ($1\leq i\leq\dim S_k(\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z}))$, with positions counted after sorting the eigenforms by increasing embedded $a_2$)
Formulas
(1)
Let $\alpha_p$ and $\beta_p$ be the roots of $X^2-a_pX+p^{k-1}$. With $L(\mathrm{Sym}^2 f,s)=\prod_p((1-\alpha_p^2p^{-s})(1-p^{k-1-s})(1-\beta_p^2p^{-s}))^{-1}$, $\langle f,f\rangle=(k-1)!L(\mathrm{Sym}^2 f,k)/(2^{2k-1}\pi^{k+1})$.
Comments
(2)
The eigenform is normalised so that $a_1=1$. The Petersson inner product is $\int_{\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})\backslash\mathbb{H}} f(z)\overline{g(z)} y^k\,dx\,dy/y^2$, with no division by the volume of the fundamental domain. The $k=12$ entry is the Petersson norm of the modular discriminant $\Delta$, whose coefficients are the Ramanujan tau function.
(3)
The index $i$ counts the eigenforms of weight $k$ in increasing order of the embedded $T_2$-eigenvalue $a_2$; this is not necessarily the order Sage or PARI lists them in. Each entry gives its own $a_2$ and links to $\chi_{k,2}$ in the Hecke polynomial table, whose roots are the $a_2$ values in that weight.

Data properties
Entries are of type: real number
How well the digits are known: heuristic (agreement-checked)
Table is complete: no (it holds every even weight $12\leq k\leq40$ with $\dim S_k(\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z}))>0$ and every eigenform in the increasing-$a_2$ ordering)
How they were obtained:

The generator evaluates Sage's petersson_norm [3] at $80$ and $120$ decimal working digits, passing explicit bit precisions to Sage's symmetric-square $L$-function computation. It sorts the embeddings of each Hecke orbit by the embedded value of $a_2$.

An independent check compares every stored value with PARI/GP's mfsymbol and mfpetersson [4], after sorting PARI's embeddings by the same $a_2$ values, with tolerance $10^{-40}\max(1,|x|)$. The table stores $30$ digits because that is comfortably inside the Sage-PARI comparison tolerance. Neither computation gives a certified error bound, so the table does not claim proven digits.
