RN templates scaled in time. The V-band templates are here shifted to a common peak and with the time scaled by the t ₃ value. By construction, the shifted templates will all coincide at two points, with 0 and 1 on the horizontal axis. This plot can be used to compare the shapes of the light curves. We see that the RNe have fairly similar shapes, although much of this is by construction. We do not see any obvious plateaus, nor other features such as dust formation dips.
