Optical and near-infrared observations of supernova 1987A.
Abstract
Observational results are presented which were obtained during the first three years following the explosion of supernova 1987 A. Aspects of the optical and near-infrared spectra are discussed as well as results from spectropolarimetric observations. The observations of the circumstellar and interstellar medium are also briefly discussed.
