Scientific paper

Spectropolarimetric data have been obtained near maximum light for the Type I supernova SN 1983g in NGC 4753. No change in polarization through the P Cygni lines is observed, indicating that the apparent axis ratio of the expanding atmosphere was greater than 0.5. The Baade method would overestimate the distance by at most a factor of 1.4 if spherical symmetry were assumed.
