Using spectral modeling to break light-curve degeneracies of type II supernovae interacting with circumstellar material

L Dessart, WV Jacobson-Galán - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2023 - aanda.org
A large fraction of red-supergiant stars seem to be enshrouded by circumstellar material
(CSM) at the time of explosion. Relative to explosions in a vacuum, this CSM causes both a …
