Sample light curves based on the distribution of λ/λ0 using the analytic methods described by Arnett (1980, 1982). Although it appears possible for the peak luminosity of a stellar collision to reach or even surpass that of a SLSNe, the extremely short duration of such an event makes it less likely to be detected. However, less luminous events, which could initially be mistaken as low-luminosity supernovae, could potentially be detected, especially with advances in survey technology.
