Potential future improvement - SN (or other models) parameters

[ZacharyLane1204]

For classified SN (mostly I am considering Type Ia because that is of immediate interest). It would be nice if as a service Fink could provide a (likely SALT3) fitting protocol with the data such that it gives m, x_1, c, z parameters for the lightcurve. An even nicer thing to do would be make it, so the user can specify the tolerance and details for their analysis. Especially if there is an option to load in TNS data (or own custom data) for say up to ~10,000 events, then Fink could become the future of large-scale cosmological analyses and processing massive supernova surveys - particularly if options for Bayesian or frequentist statistics can be used

Hello @ZacharyLane1204

Yes definitely we could add this to the portal, in the SN tab. Would you have an example code ?

I think this goes beyond the role of Fink as a broker -- this would be more a downstream analysis. Our role here would be to provide the relevant data from the ZTF/LSST stream (by deploying a SN filter), but then any cosmological analysis would be performed outside Fink (e.g. LSST DESC is setting up it based on broker data they receive).
