Optimizing spectroscopic follow-up strategies for supernova photometric classification with active learning

E. E. O. Ishida, R. Beck, S. Gonzalez-Gaitan +10

We report a framework for spectroscopic follow-up design for optimizing supernova photometric classification. The strategy accounts for the unavoidable mismatch between spectroscop…
