Super-SNID : an expanded set of SNID classes and templates for the new era of wide-field surveys

Abstract

We present an expanded template library for the supernova identification (SNID) software, along with updated source files that make it easy to merge our templates - and other major SNID libraries - into the base code. This expansion, dubbed 'Super-SNID', increases the number of spectra for under-represented supernova classes (e.g., SNe Ia-02cx, Ibn) and adds new classes (e.g., SLSNe, TDEs, LFBOTs). Super-SNID includes 841 spectral templates for 161 objects, primarily from the Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey of Transient Objects (PESSTO) Data Releases 1-4. The library is available on GitHub with simple installation instructions.
