Bolometric LC of SN 2014ab compared to that of SN 2010jl. Here, the explosion epoch of SN 2014ab is assumed to occur one hundred days prior to the optical discovery. The “hot + warm” luminosity is obtained by adding the two blackbody components and the “hot” luminosity is obtained only with the optical blackbody component in SN 2014ab. The LCs of SN 2010jl are from Fransson et al. (2014). The “optical + NIR” luminosity is the luminosity in the wavelength range from 3600 Å to 24 000 Å. The “optical” luminosity wavelength range is from 3600 Å to 9000 Å. We show the power-law bolometric LC fit that is analytically expected for interacting SNe and the total nuclear deposition energy from the decay of ⁵⁶Ni and ⁵⁶Co.
