Scientific paper

The thermalized energy from the radioactive decays of 56Ni and 57Ni and their daughter nuclides power the light curves of supernovae near maximum light. The bolometric light curve gives us a fundamental understanding of the energy evolution of a supernova explosion and the amount of radioactive nuclides produced. In this review, I will discuss the bolometric evolution of the Type IIp supernova SN1987A, and the general class of bolometric light curves of Type Ia thermonuclear explosions.
