LSST-Type-Ia-rate

SFR.py is for Star Formation Rate
SNRL.py is for SNe Ia rate (z<=4) & Luminosity function calculation
SNR.py is for SNe Ia rate (z<=1.5) & SNe Ia number calculation
SNlcl.py is a Monte Carlo method to detemine the number of Type Ia observations by LSST in a year as a function of redshift. There are certain simplifications and assumptions, which can be modified easily as the code is flexible. The redshift step used is 0.01
SN_hsiao.py & SN-hsiao.py are codes for predicting number of SNIa detected by LSST in 1 year in g-band given the cadence of once every 2.5 weeks upto a redshift of 2.0 (Note: Oguri & Marshall (2010) predicts for 10 years) SN_hsiao.py & SN-hsiao.py are alternate versions of each other; both generate the same output SN-hsiao.png
