SNCosmo is a Python library for simulating, fitting and typing supernova light curves, built on NumPy, SciPy and AstroPy.
Example
Generate observed photometric data from a light curve model:
>>> import sncosmo
>>> model = sncosmo.Model(source='salt2')
>>> model.set(x0=1.e-7, x1=0.5, c=0.05, z=1.0, t0=55100.)
>>> model.bandmag('sdssr', 'ab', times=[55075., 55100., 55140.])
array([ 27.1180182 , 25.68243714, 28.28456537])
Install
Assuming you have already installed the astropy package:
$ pip install sncosmo
