SNANA:超新星分析的公共软件包
SNANA: A Public Software Package for Supernova Analysis
摘要:
我们描述了超新星(SN)光变曲线的一般分析包,称为SNANA,其中包含一个模拟,光变曲线拟合,和宇宙学拟合。该软件的设计主要目标是使用超新星Ia作为宇宙学参数确定的距离指标,但它也可以用于研究SN率分析的效率,估计非Ia超新星的污染,并优化未来的调查。在同一软件架构中有几个SN模型,允许在多个模型中一致地使用K校正等技术功能,从而更容易在模型之间进行详细比较。可以轻松添加新的和改进的光变曲线模型。该软件适用于任意测量和望远镜,并已被几个合作项目使用,从而产生了更强大和易于使用的代码。该软件并不打算作为最终产品发布,而是旨在随着对SNe的了解越来越多,从社区中进行持续改进。下面我们将概述SNANA的功能及其一些限制。感兴趣的用户可以从http://www.sdss.org/supernova/SNANA.html的手册中找到软件下载和更详细的信息。
英文摘要:
We describe a general analysis package for supernova (SN) light curves, called SNANA, that contains a simulation, light curve fitter, and cosmology fitter. The software is designed with the primary goal of using SNe Ia as distance indicators for the determination of cosmological parameters, but it can also be used to study efficiencies for analyses of SN rates, estimate contamination from non-Ia SNe, and optimize future surveys. Several SN models are available within the same software architecture, allowing technical features such as K-corrections to be consistently used among multiple models, and thus making it easier to make detailed comparisons between models. New and improved light-curve models can be easily added. The software works with arbitrary surveys and telescopes and has already been used by several collaborations, leading to more robust and easy-to-use code. This software is not intended as a final product release, but rather it is designed to undergo continual improvements from the community as more is learned about SNe. Below we give an overview of the SNANA capabilities, as well as some of its limitations.
