Abstract: |
Superluminous Supernovae (SLSNe) were discovered more than a decade ago, but the origin of such extremely powerful events still remains questionable. In my talk I will discuss some possible theoretical models for hydrogen-poor SLSNe, show their advantages and limitations, paying most attention to the model of interaction with an extended circumstellar medium. |
