Does anyone know the mathematical form of Type Ia supernovae light curves? I am trying to analyze supernovae data. I need to fit a function to the magnitude vs time data. So I require the mathematical form for magnitude as a function of time. If anyone has any idea about that, or can suggest a way to bypass this problem PLEASE let me know.

There are any number of curve fitting algorithms that could be applied. Here is one that may be useful - http://supernovae.in2p3.fr/~guy/salt/

Does it work in windows or do I need to install Linux for that?

These kinds of things usually run well under Cygwin in windows.
