Optical observations of supernova candidates with the ILMT

This work presents multi-band optical light curves for sixteen supernova candidates observed with the International Liquid Mirror Telescope (ILMT). The researchers derived basic photometric parameters like peak magnitude, rise time, and decline rates. These parameters show diversity consistent with established types like Type Ia and Core-Collapse SNe, supporting their identification as supernova candidates.
