The light curves are analysed to derive temporal characteristics and peak luminosity L<SUB>p</SUB>, enabling the construction of a luminosity function. Subsequently, the mass of <SUP>56</SUP>Ni synthesized in the explosion, along with the ratio of ejecta mass to ejecta kinetic energy, are found. Analysis shows that host-galaxy extinction is an important factor in accurately determining luminosity values as it is significantly greater than Galactic extinction in most cases. It is found that broad-lined SNe Ic (SNe Ic-BL) and gamma-ray burst SNe are the most luminous subtypes with a combined median L<SUB>p</SUB>, in erg s<SUP>-1</SUP>, of log(L<SUB>p</SUB>) = 43.00 compared to 42.51 for SNe Ic, 42.50 for SNe Ib, and 42.36 for SNe IIb. It is also found that SNe Ic-BL synthesize approximately twice the amount of <SUP>56</SUP>Ni compared with SNe Ic, Ib, and IIb, with median M<SUB>Ni</SUB> = 0.34, 0.16, 0.14, and 0.11 M<SUB>☉</SUB>, respectively. SNe Ic-BL, and to a lesser extent SNe Ic, typically rise from L<SUB>p</SUB>/2 to L<SUB>p</SUB> more quickly than SNe Ib/IIb; consequently, their light curves are not as broad.STAMPAenArticle10.1093/mnras/stw2992-s2.0-84964782076000375799000052https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article/458/3/2973/25891382016MNRAS.458.2973PFIS/05 - ASTRONOMIA E ASTROFISICA
