The circumstellar emission from SN 1987A.
Abstract
UV and optical observations of the circumstellar gas of SN 1987A are reviewed. The spectral evolution of the emission lines are illustrated. Models to describe the evolution of the circumstellar emission are discussed and the use of these models as a diagnostic of the radiation from the supernova during the hours immediately following the explosion is examined.
