SN Shock Evolution in the Circumstellar Medium surrounding SN 1987A

Abstract

We study the structure of the circumstellar medium surrounding SN 1987A in the equatorial plane. Furthermore, we study the evolution of the SN shock within this medium during the first 25 years, and the resulting hard X-ray and radio emission from the remnant.
