Bolometric light curve of SN 2013cq (red filled circles) compared with those of SN 1998bw (orange filled circles), SN 2006aj (blue filled triangles), SN 2010bh (green filled squares), and with the models for SN 2003dh (dotted line) and SN 2012bz (dashed line). We also show the best fit model for SN 2013cq (solid line). As a consistency check, we report the bolometric point (black filled circle) obtained from the HST measurements of May 20, 2013. The error on this point is within the size of the symbol.
