Modelling the early time behaviour of type Ia supernovae: effects of the <sup>56</sup>Ni distribution
Recent studies have demonstrated the diversity in type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) at early times and highlighted a need for a better understanding of the explosion physics as manifested by observations soon after explosion. To this end, we present a Monte Carlo code designed to model the light curves of …
