Gemini spectroscopy of supernovae from the supernova Legacy Survey: Improving high-redshift supernova selection and classification

We present new techniques for improving the efficiency of supernova (SN) classification at high redshift using 64 candidates observed at Gemini North and South during the first year of the Supernova Legacy Survey (SNLS). The SNLS is an ongoing 5 year project with the goal of measuring the equation o...
