phot_class (Package Overview)

The phot_class package applies the photometric fitting technique from González-Gaitan et al. 2014 to identify peculiar Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia). It provides multiple light curve fitting routines, various utilities for parsing and manipulating data, and functions for tabulating fitting and classification results for an entire photometric survey. For usage examples, please see the individual documentation of each module.

Modules

Module Name	Description
classification	Tabulates light-curve fits for a given survey and determines the corresponding classification coordinates.
fit_func_wraps	Provides wrapped versions of sncosmo minimization routines to address bugs.
fitting	Runs a series of fits on individual light-curves and tabulates the results.
fom	Calculates the Figure of Merit (FOM) parameter.
models	Defines custom Source classes for modeling supernovae with sncosmo.
simulation	Simulates light-curves using sncosmo.
spectra	tabulates the properties of spectral features.
utils	A collection of general utilities.
