Light Curve Fits

QN model fits to light curves of supernovae

Quark Nova light curve fits

Supernovae (SNe) are an extremely energetic phenomena. The recent discovery of new classes of SNe including Super-Luminous SNe (SLSNe) and double-humped SNe (DHSNe) have pushed the limits of current theory. Here we show some of our fits to SN light curves using the Quark Nova model.
