Abstract

The IUE observations of SN 1987A are reviewed, and the implications for the nature of the progenitor and the supernova are discussed. Radio, UV, and X-ray observations of the recent SN 1993J also provide ample evidence for a dense circumstellar medium. In particular, the strong N V emission seen by IUE provides important information about the state of high energy radiation from the shocks and outbreak of the supernova shock wave. We discuss how radio, UV, and X-ray observations can be combined into a consistent scenario, involving the interaction of the supernova with the circumstellar medium.
