Explosions inside Ejecta and Most Luminous Supernovae
arXiv:0812.4802 · doi:10.1063/1.2943580
Abstract
The extremely luminous supernova SN2006gy is explained in the same way as other SNIIn events: light is produced by a radiative shock propagating in a dense circumstellar envelope formed by a previous weak explosion. The problems in the theory and observations of multiple-explosion SNe IIn are briefly reviewed.
