THE BOSTON AREA PHYSICS CALENDAR
Week of September 15 - September 21, 1996
 
The Boston Area Physics Calendar is published weekly during 
the academic year by the Department of Physics and Astronomy 
at Tufts University.  You may send your announcements by 
e-mail (bapc@tuhepa.phy.tufts.edu) or FAX:(617-627-3878).  
We cannot accept announcements by telephone.  Entries should 
reach us no later than 11:00am on the Monday preceding the week 
of the event. ENTRIES RECEIVED AFTER THE DEADLINE WILL NOT 
BE PUBLISHED.

``The Diversity of Supernovae: SN 1987A and SN 1993J'' 
 
 Abstract: 
 
Recent radio and X-ray observations of SN 1987A
give evidence for supernova interaction with an H II region
created in the swept up dense wind from a previous
evolutionary phase.  The spectrum of the ejecta
can be explained with radioactive power input and does not show any
signs of power from a central compact source.  The presence of the
H II region will delay the arrival of the shock front at the dense
ring, when bright optical/uv emission is expected.  In the case
of SN 1993J in M81, dense gas was present close to the explosion,
giving rise to radiative phenomena at an early phase.
