What can we learn from the rising light curves of radioactively powered supernovae?
AL Piro, E Nakar - The Astrophysical Journal, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
The light curve of the explosion of a star with a radius≲ 10–100 R☉ is powered mostly by
radioactive decay. Observationally, such events are dominated by hydrogen-deficient …
