Abstract

Since the early days of Colgate and White (1965), most researchers working with numerical models of supernovae have specialized in either the inside or the outside parts of the supernova. This development is a reasonable one. The gravitational collapse of a dense core is completed in a second or two, but the passage of a shock wave through a stellar envelope may take half a day. To model the shock wave and the subsequent observable emission of radiation one only needs to know the energy, momentum and material deposited in envelope by the inner processes. This paper reports our most recent progress in modelling the early part of Type I light curves.
