Core Collapse Supernovae templates
Developed by Szymon Prajs (S.Prajs@soton.ac.uk).
Originally designed by Natasha Karpenka.
Currently mainted by Szymon Prajs and Rob Firth.
This package is still in an active development phase and currently contains a number of known issues. We are working to fix them as quickly as possible! Full release is expected very shortly.
Future releases of the code will include a configure file and follow the standard GNU autoconf routine.
If you are already have a set of supernova templates or are using the default templates only,
you should use the pyCoCo python binding around lcsim.
To create new supernova templates run lcfit -> specfit -> specphase in this order.
lcfit lightcurve_file.*
lightcurve_file.* must have four columns: MJD Flux Flux_error filter.
or
lightcurve_files_list.list
lightcurve_files_list.list is a list of ligh curve files, all of which must follow the above convention.
specfit spectrum_file.* SN_name MJD redshift
or
specfit spectra_setup_file.list
spectra_setup_file.list must have the following columns: path_to_spectrum SN_name MJD redshift.
specphase SN_redshift_list.list filter_name
SN_redshift_list.list must have three columns: SN_name redshift dist_mod
LCSim SN_name redshift abs_mag_offset MJD_peak MJD_filters.list
or
lcsim setup_list.list
setup_list.list must contain the following columns: SN_name redshift abs_mag_offset MJD_peak MJD_filters.list
MJD_filters.list must contain two columns: MJD filter
The following has been adapted from the Minuit2 docs here.
For each release of MINUIT there will be a tar.gz available which contains the code and can be run using the autoconf tools. The necessary steps to follow are:
Download the Minuit-x-x-x.tar.gz from the download page
unzip and untar the file:
tar -zxf Minuit-x-x-x.tar.gz
step down to the created Minuit-x.x.x directory:
cd Minuit-x.x.x/
run the "configure" script:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
run make to compile the source code:
sudo make install
If the compilation gets stuck with a message like "Waiting for AnalyticalGradientCalculator.o.lock to be removed" then you are probably trying to compile under AFS. In this case go to the previous step and run:
./configure --disable-libtool-lock
If the compilation fails with an error message like MnUserTransformation.cpp: In method MnUserTransformation::MnUserTransformation (const vector > &, const vector > &)': MnUserTransformation.cpp:30: ::sprintf' undeclared (first use here) make[2]: *** [MnUserTransformation.lo] Error 1 then probably your gcc compiler is set to version 2.96 or older. Try to set it to 3.2 or 3.2.3.
run "make check" to create the executable example:
make check
Then run the executable example using the automatically created script:
test/MnTutorial/test_Minuit_Quad4FMain
and the produced output should look like this one here.
