Pseudo-bolometric light curve of SN 2016adj constructed with the bolometric corrections from Lyman et al. (2014) and plotted along with our best-fit Arnett (1982) model. The model was fit to the luminosity measurements shown in blue and consisting of epochs extending up to 61 days post explosion when the ejecta remains to be optically thick to the gamma-rays emitted by radioactive decay (see Taddia et al. 2018b, and references therein).
