Abstract
There are some dozen supernovae (SNe) associated with long Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been confirmed. Most of previous studies derive the physical properties of the GRB-SNe by fitting the constructed (psuedo-)bolometric light curves. However, many GRB-SNe have only a few filter data, for which the (psuedo-)bolometric light curves are very difficult to be constructed. Additionally, constructing (psuedo-)bolometric light curves rely on some assumptions. In this paper, we use the multi-band broken power-law plus Ni model to fit the multi-band light curves of the afterglows and the SNe (SN~2001ke, SN~2013dx, and SN~2016jca) associated with three GRBs (GRB~011121, GRB~130702A, and GRB~161219B). We find our model can account for the multi-band light curves of the three GRB-SNe (except for the late-time band light curves of two events), indicating that the model is a reliable model. The Ni masses we derive are higher than that in the literature. This might be due to the fact that the Ni masses in the literature are usually obtained by fitting the psuedo-bolometric light curves whose luminosities are usually (significantly) underestimated. We suggest that the multi-band model can not only be used to fit the multi-band light curves of GRB-SNe that have many filter observations, but also fit those having sparse data.
