The code given below generates simple radioactive decay models of supernova light curves. The code is presently set for to reproduce the figure below. With a little massaging, you can make the code do other massive star and white dwarf supernovae.

Please cite the relevant references if you publish a piece of work that use these codes, pieces of these codes, or modified versions of them. If you're nice, offer co-authorship of the publication. At best, you'll love these programs so much that you'll send great wads of cash to me.
