Abstract
I explore the origin of an asymmetry of the H$\alpha$ emission from a circumstellar (CS) shell around type IIP supernova SN 2013fs in the spectrum taken 10.3\,h after the shock breakout. A spherical model of the H$\alpha$ emission from the CS shell that takes into account a preshock gas acceleration by the supernova radiation permits us to successfully reproduce the \ha H$\alpha$ profile. Principal factors responsible for the H$\alpha$ asymmetry are the high velocity of the accelerated CS preshock gas ($\sim 3000$\,km s$^{-1}$) and a low H$\alpha$ Sobolev optical depth in a combination with an occultation of the H$\alpha$ emission by the photosphere.
