摘要:

我们报告了超新星光度分类挑战赛(SNPCC)的结果,SNPCC是一个公开发布的模拟超新星(SNe)的混合体,其类型(Ia,Ibc和II)与其预期速率成比例。模拟实现了在黑暗能量调查(DES)与现实的观测条件(天空噪声,点扩散函数和大气透明度)的基础上,在DES网站多年的记录条件的格利兹过滤器。对非Ia型超新星的模拟是基于光谱学证实的光变曲线,其中包括卡内基超新星计划(CSP)、超新星遗产巡天(SNLS)和斯隆数字巡天II(SDSS-II)捐赠的未发表的非Ia样本。提供光谱学确认的子集用于培训。我们要求科学家运行他们的分类算法,并报告每个SN的类型和照片。来自10个小组的参与者为样本贡献了13个条目,其中包括每个SN的宿主星系照片,以及9个没有红移信息的样本条目。几种不同的分类策略导致类似的性能,并且对于所有条目,训练子集的性能显著优于未经确认的样本。对于光谱学未确认的子集,分类SNe~Ia的平均优值最高的条目的效率为0.96,SN~Ia纯度为0.79。作为测光SN分类和photo-z估算器未来发展的公共资源,我们已经发布了更新的模拟,并根据我们从SNPCC获得的经验进行了改进,增加了与大型综合巡天望远镜(LSST)和SDSS相对应的样本,并提供了答案,以便开发人员可以评估自己的分析。

英文摘要:

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 proportion to their expected rate. The simulation was realized in the griz filters of the Dark Energy Survey (DES) with realistic observing conditions (sky noise, point-spread function and atmospheric transparency) based on years of recorded conditions at the DES site. Simulations of non-Ia type SNe are based on spectroscopically confirmed light curves that include unpublished non-Ia samples donated from the Carnegie Supernova Project (CSP), the Supernova Legacy Survey (SNLS), and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II (SDSS-II). A spectroscopically confirmed subset was provided for training. We challenged scientists to run their classification algorithms and report a type and photo-z for each SN. Participants from 10 groups contributed 13 entries for the sample that included a host-galaxy photo-z for each SN, and 9 entries for the sample that had no redshift information. Several different classification strategies resulted in similar performance, and for all entries the performance was significantly better for the training subset than for the unconfirmed sample. For the spectroscopically unconfirmed subset, the entry with the highest average figure of merit for classifying SNe~Ia has an efficiency of 0.96 and an SN~Ia purity of 0.79. As a public resource for the future development of photometric SN classification and photo-z estimators, we have released updated simulations with improvements based on our experience from the SNPCC, added samples corresponding to the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) and the SDSS, and provided the answer keys so that developers can evaluate their own analysis.
