Pseudo-bolometric uBgVrRiIz light curves of SN 2018ivc, for both the low and high reddening scenarios. The inset shows a blow-up of the first two months after the explosion. For reference, we plot also the pseudo-bolometric light curve without any correction for reddening in black; the short plateau feature is more pronounced. The decay slope of ⁵⁶Co (0.98 mag (100 d)⁻¹) is reported with a dashed purple line for comparison. At late phases (after +100 days) the evolution of SN 2018ivc is close to being powered by the ⁵⁶Co decay. The systematic error bar due to the uncertainty on the distance is reported in the bottom-left corner.
