Recent ideas related to supernova interaction with their surroundings will be
discussed. Attention will be given to the case of very dense surroundings.

Stellar wind mass-loss and photo-ionization can modify the ambient medium around
massive stars during their evolution. Using numerical simulations, we discuss the
formation of the circumstellar medium (CSM) around massive stars, and the evolution
of supernova shock waves within this medium. The shock-CSM interaction heats up the
gas to X-ray emitting temperatures. The output from numerical...

For centuries, supernovae have been studied primarily in the visual band thanks to
their strong optical emission that dominates the bolometric luminosity on timescales
of weeks following the explosion. At the same time, some of the most profound
advances in our understanding of supernovae have been made possible through
observations at other wavelengths. Here I will review the unique...
