2 SNe Ia cosmology Type Ia SNe very luminous homogeneous spectral and photometric properties characteristic light curves -> we assume reproducible luminosities SNIa cosmology advantages: Betoule et al orthogonal constraints to CMB and BAO sensitive to dark energy properties 2
3 SNIa cosmology challenges we want : - more SNe Ia - precise measurements e.g. improving systematics. - host galaxy - modelling / templates - e.g. JLA Betoule et al more: not enough resources for spectroscopy (DES,LSST) -> photometric classification
4 SN photometric classification challenges how to classify?: - features: some type of fitter - redshift: photometric/ host-galaxy spectroscopic - classification algorithm we need to trust our sample: - high purity sample - without sacrificing stats (efficiency) from simulations to data from a classified sample to cosmology the unexpected
5 SUPERNOVA PHOTOMETRIC CLASSIFICATION CHALLENGE Richard Kessler, 1,2 Alex Conley, 3 Saurabh Jha, 4 Stephen Kuhlmann 5 Challenge Released on Jan 29, Last update: September 24, 2013 ABSTRACT We have publicly released a blinded mix of simulated SNe, with types (Ia, Ib, Ic, II) selected in proportion to their expected rate. The simulation is realized in the griz filters of the Dark Energy Survey (DES) with realistic observing conditions (sky noise, point spread function and atmospheric Participants Abbreviation a Classified +Z b /noz c SN z ph d CPU e Description (strategy class) f P.

6 SNLS based on the Canada France Hawaii Telescope MegaCam : 36 CCD mosaic 4 broadband filters g,r,i,z 4 fields of 1 square degree rolling search mode spectroscopic follow up (Keck, Gemini and VLT) observations: the SuperNova Legacy Survey - SNLS3 analysed and published - SNLS5 currently being processed (complete SNLS data set)
7 SNLS3 contains large spectroscopically and photometrically identified SNe samples Entries Entries Mean RMS Entries Mean RMS Unidentified sample Identified sample Host photometric redshift
8 SNLS pipelines standard SNLS approach e.g. Astier et al. 2005, Guy et al. 2010, used in JLA Betoule et al real time detection, uses spectroscopy for typing and redshift 0.15 < z <1.1 deferred photometric pipeline developed in the SNLS Saclay group (France) no spectroscopy required differed detection of all kinds of transient events larger number of detections larger redshift coverage sensitive to other SN types G. Bazin et al. A&A 534, A43 (2011) Photometric selection of Type Ia supernovae in the Supernova Legacy Survey. G.Bazin et al.

B phase B. redshift host-galaxy photometric: Ilbert et al. 2006: 2. selection cuts: 520,000 galaxies with an AB magnitude brighter than 25 in im. ~4% resolution, catastrophic assignment ( z/(1 + z) > 0.15 ): 3.7% V R phase phase Guy et al sampling - poor fit 3. classification strategy: sequential cuts

14 supervised learning decision trees make successive rectangular cuts in the parameter space supervised classification methods simulations to train improving model: boosting: making the model more complex AdaBoost, XGBoost averaging methods: Random Forest, Bagging scikit-learn implementation
15 supervised learning redshift + features N-dimensional problem BDT response 1-dimensional problem
16 method II How: 1. extract information: A. light-curve features SALT2: C, x1, magnitudes and chi 2 of the fit. B. redshift host-galaxy photometric 2. selection cuts: - sampling - poor fit 3. classification strategy: XGB DT
17 method II host-galaxy photometric z, SALT2 fit, XGB efficiency purity Bazin et al Gupta et al BUT host-galaxy redshift assignment (zgal) efficiency is 83%

19 SN redshift Palanque-Delabrouille et al estimated directly from SN light curves. light curves are fitted using SALT2 searching minimisation of the reduced χ 2 1. for successive values of the redshift separated by δz = 0.1 with color and stretch set with gaussian priors. 2. setting the color and stretch parameters free and performing a new redshift scan around first step s redshift with the same step δz as above. set up on SNLS3 data ~2% resolution, catastrophic assignment ( z/(1 + z) > 0.15 ): 1.4%
20 general SN fitter SN photometric redshift algorithm uses SALT2. Advisable to use a light curve fitter which is: independent from SALT2 able to fit other types of SNe. e.g. the empirical model used for SNlike selection. f k = A k e (t tk 0 )/ k fall 1+e (t tk 0 )/ k rise + c k k= filter t k max = t k 0 + k riseln( k fall/ k rise 1)

23 method III How: 1. extract information: A. light-curve features general fitter B. redshift SN-redshift 2. selection cuts (adapted to our analysis): - sampling - poor fit 3. classification strategy: supervised learning - setting parameters - selecting features - crossvalidation using scikit-learn packages -Random Forest -AdaBoost -XGBoost (extreme gradient boosting).
