Caption: Figure 16.
Fits to the t > 25 days time-integrated bolometric luminosity (bottom) of SNLS05D2bk and SNLS06D1hc with a nickel-powered light curve (dashed lines are for full γ-trapping, visibly different from the solid lines only for SNLS06D1hc). The integrated luminosity is consistent with a nickel decay power source for the light curves, though there are only a few data points and they do not extend to late enough times to make this determination secure. Top plots show the instantaneous luminosity.
