Kilonova/Macronova Emission from Compact Binary Mergers

Figure 5

Color-magnitude diagram (a) and color-color diagram (b) for compact binary merger models () at 200 Mpc compared with Type Ia SN with similar observed magnitudes ( = 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7). For Type Ia SN, we use spectral templates [71] with -correction. The numbers for binary merger models show time from the merger in days while dots for Type Ia SN are given with 5-day interval.
