supernovae in Kepler

Peter Garnavich (Notre Dame) gave our astrophysics seminar about supernovae and other oddities in Kepler and K2 time-domain data. His lightcurves of supernovae start very early and show beautiful features and regularities. He can confidently classify supernovae on the basis of the light curve alone, it looks like to me! He showed some odd things which might be (the elusive) SN 0.1a. A great re-use of #OtherPeoplesData by an admirable #ResearchParasite!
