Abstract
An overview of the optical effects caused by a supernova explosion in a dense circumstellar wind is presented. Some unclear points and difficulties of the conventional models are pointed out and additional processes suggested, namely, thermal conductivity between the shocked wind and fragmented shocked ejecta, interaction of the wind with a relativistic precursor, and emission from accelerated fragments of shocked wind clouds. A simple model is proposed for cloud formation in the pre-supernova wind.
