X-Ray Emission from Supernovae in Dense Circumstellar Matter Environments: A Search for Collisionless Shocks

The optical light curve of some supernovae (SNe) may be powered by the outward diffusion of the energy deposited by the explosion shock (the so-called shock breakout) in optically thick (τ >åisebox-0.5ex 30) circumstellar matter (CSM). Recently, …
