1. Why is circumstellar interaction of SNe important?
Progenitors: Mass loss determines SN Type.
Type IIP (little mass lost), ....IIn, IIb ( < 0.5 M of H envelope),
Ib (only He core), Ic (only O core)
Ejecta structure: Shock dynamics probes density structure
of SN ejecta
Shock physics: Thermal radiation processes (X-rays)
Non-thermal radiation processes (radio)
Relativistic particle acceleration
Dust production
SN – GRB connection: GRB afterglow determined by circumstellar
environment of the SN.

2. Mass loss processes I. Single stars Blue SGs u ~ 500 – 3000 km/s
dM/dt 10-7 – 10-5 MO /yr
Red SGs u ~ 10 – 50 km/s
dM/dt 10-6 – 10-4 MO /yr
Superwinds (cf. AGB's): Heger et al (1997) find large amplitude
pulsations with several MO per 10,000 years dM/dt ~ 10-4 MO/yr
II Binaries Winds
RL overflow, common envelope phases....

55. Cooling shocks
yrs
High velocity shocks seen in soft X-rays gradually become radiative
Now, H up to ~ 450 km s-1 
