SN 2006oz is a super-luminous supernova with a mysterious bright precursor that has resisted explanation in standard models.However,such a precursor has been predicted in the dual-shock quark nova model of super-luminous supernovae–the precursor is the supernova event while the main light curve of the super-luminous supernova is powered by the Quark-Nova(explosive transition of the neutron star to a quark star).As the supernova is fading,the Quark-Nova re-energizes the supernova ejecta,producing a"double-humped"light curve.We show that the quark nova model successfully reproduces the observed light curve of SN 2006oz.
