SN 2011dh具有独特性，它提供了射电和光学波段初始阶段的详细观测，这使得用于推导超新星抛射物外包层性质的模型得以对比。研究表明，一致的描述显示前向激波始于活塞阶段，速度恒定，仅在约50天时才过渡到与初始条件无关的标准模型。此外，观测表明射电源是非均匀的，覆盖因子约为50%。需要强调的是，推导得出的同步辐射源性质对非均匀性的存在非常敏感；例如，与均匀源相比，50%的覆盖因子使相对论电子与磁场的能量密度比增加了几个数量级。外包层的浅密度梯度导致前向激波显著减速，这被用于论证磁场强度与半径成反比而非与时间成反比，这与SN 1993J类似。同时，研究还注意到致密河外射电源的平坦光谱与射电超新星演化之间的相似性，例如磁场的标度关系和恒定亮温度。
英文摘要
SN 2011dh is rather unique in that it offered detailed observations of the initial phase in the radio as well as optical regimes. This makes possible a comparison between models used to deduce properties of the outer envelope of the supernova ejecta. It is shown that a consistent description suggests the forward shock to have started in the piston phase with constant velocity, and only later, around 50 days, transitioned to the standard model, which is independent of initial conditions. In addition, observations imply that the radio source is inhomogeneous with a covering factor of, approximately, 50%. It is emphasised that the deduced properties of the synchrotron source are very sensitive to the presence of inhomogeneities; for example, a covering factor of 50% increases the ratio of the energy densities of relativistic electrons and magnetic field by several orders of magnitude as compared to a homogeneous source. The shallow density gradient in the envelope causes substantial deceleration of the forward shock. This is used to argue that the magnetic field strength scales inversely with radius rather than inversely with time; this is similar to SN 1993J. Attention is also drawn to the similarities between the flat spectra of compact, extragalatic radio sources and the evolution of radio supernovae; e.g., the scaling of the magnetic field and the constant brightness temperature.
