TLDR
By the best fitting of all available light curves of Type I supernovae an average curve, representative of the class, was drawn in this article, and the analysis of the average curve some general properties of the SN-I were derived.
Abstract
By the best fitting of all available light curves of Type I supernovae an average curve, representative of the class, was drawn. Due to the strong similarity of the light curves, the dispersion of the points was relatively small. From the analysis of the average curve some general properties of the SN-I were derived. The occurrence of Type I supernovae in different types of galaxies and the possibility of a further subdivision in two groups are discussed. (auth)

Optical spectra of supernovae

TL;DR: In this article, the temporal evolution of the optical spectra of various types of supernovae (SNe) is illustrated, in part to aid observers classifying supernova candidates.

Future supernovae observations as a probe of dark energy

TL;DR: In this article, the potential impact of improved future supernovae data on our understanding of the dark energy problem is discussed. But the focus is on the proposed satellite, which is planned to observe around 2000 supernova.

Supernova statistics and related problems

TL;DR: In this article, the absolute maximum magnitudes of SNeI and SNeII are discussed, as well as the evidence of SNEI being good standard candles in close binary systems.

Classification of Supernovae

TL;DR: In this paper, the main observational features of the supernova types are described and the physical implications briefly addressed, and differences between the homogeneous thermonuclear type Ia and similarities among the heterogeneous core-collapse type I, Ic and II are highlighted.

Nuclear astrophysics: The unfinished quest for the origin of the elements

TL;DR: A comprehensive overview of the nuclear history of the universe and related topics can be found in this article, starting from the Big Bang, when the ashes from the primordial explosion were transformed to hydrogen, helium and trace elements, to the rich variety of nucleosynthesis mechanisms and sites in the Universe.
