Circumstellar interaction has been observed around all types of massive star supernovae, especially at radio and X-ray wavelengths. The interaction shells in Type Ib/c supernovae appear to be moving rapidly, although SN 1998bw remains the only case for which the evidence points to relativistic expansion. Type IIP supernovae have relatively low mass loss rates, consistent with moderate mass single stars at the ends of their lives. Type IIb and some IIL and IIn supernovae can have strong mass loss leading up to the explosion, which occurs in a star with little H on it. The mass loss may be driven by the luminosity of the late burning stages.
