摘要:

未来的光度超新星调查将产生比光谱学更多的候选者,突出了仅基于光变曲线的有效分类方法的必要性。在这里,我们介绍具有最小天体物理输入的增强和核密度估计技术,并在20,000个模拟的暗能量巡天光变曲线上比较它们的性能。我们证明,这些方法是目前使用的最好的模板拟合方法相媲美,特别是不需要红移的主星系或候选人。然而,这两种方法都需要一个代表整个群体的训练样本,因此典型的光谱超新星子样本将导致性能不佳。为了充分发挥这种盲法的潜力,我们建议应使用具有代表性的训练样本,因此应特别注意在未来光度测量的设计阶段创建这些样本。

英文摘要:

Future photometric supernova surveys will produce vastly more candidates than can be followed up spectroscopically, highlighting the need for effective classification methods based on lightcurves alone. Here we introduce boosting and kernel density estimation techniques which have minimal astrophysical input, and compare their performance on 20,000 simulated Dark Energy Survey lightcurves. We demonstrate that these methods are comparable to the best template fitting methods currently used, and in particular do not require the redshift of the host galaxy or candidate. However both methods require a training sample that is representative of the full population, so typical spectroscopic supernova subsamples will lead to poor performance. To enable the full potential of such blind methods, we recommend that representative training samples should be used and so specific attention should be given to their creation in the design phase of future photometric surveys.
