Scientific paper

Multiple lines of evidence indicate that some fraction of core-collapse supernovae are nonspherical. The observational evidence includes spectropolarimetry, neutron star kicks, gamma-ray burst/supernova coincidences, speckle interferometry and direct imaging, and the morphologies of Galactic supernova remnants. Otherwise spherically symmetric theoretical models of observed supernovae often invoke multidimensionality to explain certain phenomena. Understanding spectra and light curves arising from multidimensional explosions requires the solution of the multidimensional model supernova atmosphere problem. This contribution presents the problem and its context, and outlines some current efforts at a solution.
