SNIF: The SuperNova Interactive Fitter
Abstract
We present an online application, the SuperNova Interactive Fitter (SNIF), which can be used to interactively fit one-zone, analytical models to optical transient light curves powered by (1) the radioactive decay of 56Ni, (2) the spin-down of newly born magnetars, or (3) the interaction between supernova ejecta and pre-existing circumstellar material. This application utilizes the Open Astronomy Catalogs API to connect the user to thousands of publicly available transient light curves from the literature.
