  Using our previously derived simple analytic expression for the bolometric light curves of supernovae, we demonstrate that the collision of the fast debris of ordinary supernova explosions with relatively slow-moving shells from pre-supernova eruptions can produce the observed bolometric light curves of superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) of all types. These include both, those which can be explained as powered by spinning-down millisecond magnetars and those which cannot. That and the observed close similarity between the bolometric light-curves of SLSNe and ordinary interacting SNe suggest that SLSNe are powered mainly by collisions with relatively slow moving circumstellar shells from pre-supernova eruptions rather than by the spin-down of millisecond magnetars born in core collapse supernova explosions. 
Are Superluminous Supernovae Powered By Collision Or By Millisecond   Magnetars?
