  • 4. Conclusions
  • 4. Conclusions
  • 1. SNe photometric classification is not a future issue..

it is already here!

  • 3. There is no need of enviromental, redshift or astrophysical

hypothesis

  • 2. kPCA is a powerfull tool, mainly if we are interested

in a high quality purity in intermediate redshifts.

  • 4. Great potential in detecting previously non-observed objects:
