We provide fitting of the lightcurve observed for Gaia16alq type Ia SN (see ATEL#8991) including observations obtained during its peak in four passbands (BVRI).

Our observations were obtained from three different observatories: Joan Oró Telescope at Observatori del Montsec (Sant Esteve de la Sarga, Spain), Bialkow Observatory (Wroclaw Astronomical Institute,Polland) and Leicester Telescope.

  • Obtained parameters from SNooPy code using max_model with dm15 option (EBV and EBV2 models were also tested but best results were obtained with max_model). SnooPy code accounts for the Milky Way E(B-V) colour excess based on the coordinates of the source.
  • Lightcurve fitting can be seen in this webpage
  • Obtained parameters from SNooPy

    DM = 34.689 +/- 0.036
    EBVhost = 0.241 +/- 0.016
    dm15 = 0.915 +/- 0.008
    Tmax = 57508.950 +/- 0.067
    Rmax = 16.111 +/- 0.003
    Imax = 16.522 +/- 0.007
    Vmax = 15.818 +/- 0.005
    Bmax = 16.109 +/- 0.004

  • Absolute Magnitudes calculated from m - M = DM

    Bmax = -18.58 +/- (0.004+/-0.036)
    Vmax = -18.871 +/- (0.005+/-0.036)
    Imax = -18.167 +/- (0.007+/-0.036)
    Rmax = -18.578 +/- (0.003+/-0.036)

    errors come from both DM and individual m errors found by SNooPy

These days Gaia16alq is having the 2nd peak on the I-band and all other bands such as the small drop and increase on R are following the template smoothly. Future fittings adding more observations could enhance the derivation of these preliminary analysis.
