Popis: High-quality observations of $B$ and $V$ light curves obtained at Las Campanas Observatory for local Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) show clear evidence that SNe Ia with the same brightness decline or stretch may have systematic and independent deviations at times < 5 days before and at times > 30 days after maximum light. This suggests the existence of two independent secondary parameters which control the shape of SN Ia light curves in addition to the brightness decline relation. stretch. The differences are consistent in morphology of the time dependence and size with predictions by models within the delayed detonation scenario. The secondary parameters may reflect two independent physical effects caused by variations in the progenitor and accretion rates, and link the LC variations in shape with the intrinsic, absolute brightness.
