Simplified explosion models of super-Chandrasekhar-mass C-O white dwarfs (WDs) are constructed with parameters such as WD mass and 56Ni mass. Their light curves are obtained by solving one-dimensional equations of radiation hydrodynamics, and compared with the observations of SN 2009dc, one of the overluminous Type Ia supernovae, to estimate its properties. As a result, the progenitor of SN 2009dc is suggested to be a 2.2–2.4-M⊙ C-O WD with 1.2–1.4 M⊙ of 56Ni, if the extinction by its host galaxy is negligible.
