cannot calculate the light curve directly. We rather usean observed light curve of another CCSN that has asimilar light curve shape but that does not have a rapiddrop after maximum. We take this template light curveto be, up to a scaled luminosity, the luminosity of aspherical CCSN, Lsp;eq(t), that has properties like theequatorial ejecta, namely total mass an energy of Meqand Eeq, respectively.
