SN2006oz 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 (dsQN) model of super-luminous
supernovae -- the precursor is the SN event while the main light curve of the
SLSN is powered by the Quark-Nova (QN; explosive transition of the neutron star
to a quark star). As the SN is fading, the QN re-energizes the SN ejecta,
producing a "double-humped" light curve. In this paper, we show the dsQN model
successfully reproduces the observed light curve of SN2006oz.
