Abstract
A VLBI determination, at time t after the explosion, of the angular radius, Θ, of a supernova’s radiosphere, coupled with an optical-spectroscopic determination of the radial expansion velocity ν shock, at time t0 after the explosion, of the supernova’s shockfront allows estimates to be made of the distance, D., to the supernova’s host galaxy and of Hubble’s constant (BARTEL [1]; BARTEL et al. [2]; see also BARTEL [3], for a comparison of this method with other methods (e.g., BRANCH [4]) that use supernovae as distance indicators):
