Core Collapse Supernovae templates

CoCo - v0.7.0

Core Collapse Supernovae templates

---

Developed by Szymon Prajs ([e-mail]).
Originally designed by Natasha Karpenka.
Currently mainted by Szymon Prajs and Rob Firth.

This package is still in an active development phase and currently contains a number of known issues. We are working to fix them as quickly as possible! Full release is expected very shortly.

Installation

Future releases of the code will include a configure file and follow the standard GNU autoconf routine.

Dependencies

pyCoCo

• Cython
• Minuit2

LCFit, SpecFit, SpecPhase

• GSL
• Minuit2
• MultiNest
• LAPACK (Required for MultiNest)

Usage

If you are already have a set of supernova templates or are using the default templates only, you should use the pyCoCo python binding around lcsim.

To create new supernova templates run lcfit -> specfit -> specphase in this order.

LCFit

lcfit lightcurve_file.*

lightcurve_file.* must have four columns: MJD Flux Flux_error filter.

or

lightcurve_files_list.list

lightcurve_files_list.list is a list of ligh curve files, all of which must follow the above convention.

SpecFit

specfit spectrum_file.* SN_name MJD redshift

or

specfit spectra_setup_file.list

spectra_setup_file.list must have the following columns: path_to_spectrum SN_name MJD redshift.

SpecPhase

specphase SN_redshift_list.list filter_name

SN_redshift_list.list must have three columns: SN_name redshift dist_mod

LCSim

LCSim SN_name redshift abs_mag_offset MJD_peak MJD_filters.list

or

lcsim setup_list.list

setup_list.list must contain the following columns: SN_name redshift abs_mag_offset MJD_peak MJD_filters.list MJD_filters.list must contain two columns: MJD filter
