    The Hubble Space Telescope programs dubbed SINS and SAINTS have been underway since the launch of HST. The angular resolution of HST allows us to image the many different parts of the supernova as it becomes a remnant, and the spectra, especially in the UV, have helped us understand its chemistry and physics. SN 1987A was the best-observed supernova and is now becoming the...

  2. 293. Circumstellar gas around SN 1987A
    Prof. Peter Lundqvist (Dept. of Astronomy, OKC, Stockholm)

    The structure of the circumstellar medium around SN 1987A poses a challenge to our understanding of mass loss from massive stars. I will review what is known about the three rings around the supernova, as well as other gas close to it. I will also discuss how the rings have been excited, and what we can learn from them about the supernova shock breakout and the ejecta/ring interaction....
