The light curve epochs of supernovae explosions
Abstract
A brief description of the current state of knowledge for Type II light curves is given, including discussion of some of the remaining problems. The use of supernovae of both types as independent distance indicators is outlined and difficulties are pointed out. A summary of new ideas regarding the origin of Type I light curves is presented.
