Towards the Future of Supernova Cosmology
Michelle Lochner, Bruce A. Bassett, Melvin Varughese +4
For future surveys, spectroscopic follow-up for all supernovae will be extremely difficult. However, one can use light curve fitters, to obtain the probability that an object is a…
Extending BEAMS to incorporate correlated systematic uncertainties
Michelle Lochner, Bruce A. Bassett, Melvin Varughese +4
New supernova surveys such as the Dark Energy Survey, Pan-STARRS and the LSST will produce an unprecedented number of photometric supernova candidates, most with no spectroscopic d…
Photometric Supernova Cosmology with BEAMS and SDSS-II
Renée Hlozek, Martin Kunz, Bruce Bassett +16
Supernova cosmology without spectroscopic confirmation is an exciting new frontier which we address here with the Bayesian Estimation Applied to Multiple Species (BEAMS) algorithm…
Statistical Classification Techniques for Photometric Supernova Typing
James Newling, Melvin Varughese, Bruce A. Bassett +8
Future photometric supernova surveys will produce vastly more candidates than can be followed up spectroscopically, highlighting the need for effective classification methods based…
Results from the Supernova Photometric Classification Challenge
Richard Kessler, Bruce Bassett, Pavel Belov +24
We report results from the Supernova Photometric Classification Challenge (SNPCC), a publicly released mix of simulated supernovae (SNe), with types (Ia, Ibc, and II) selected in p…
