The brightest supernova explosion since the invention of the telescope has led to a corresponding explosion in research activity. This volume presents the papers from the Fourth George Mason University Workshop, held in the fall of 1987. There are numerous descriptions of the latest observations of this supernova and of the implications for theory. The book is an essential reference for all professional astronomers in stellar and galactic research who need the latest information on this fascinating phenomenon.
