SHOCK BREAKOUT IN DENSE MASS LOSS: LUMINOUS SUPERNOVAE
We examine the case where a circumstellar medium around a supernova is sufficiently opaque that a radiation-dominated shock propagates in the circumstellar region. The initial propagation of the shock front into the circumstellar region can be approximated by a self-similar solution that determines the radiative energy in a shocked shell; …
