Abstract

I explore the origin of an asymmetry of the Hα\alpha emission from a circumstellar (CS) shell around type IIP supernova SN 2013fs in the spectrum taken 10.3\,h after the shock breakout. A spherical model of the Hα\alpha emission from the CS shell that takes into account a preshock gas acceleration by the supernova radiation permits us to successfully reproduce the \ha Hα\alpha profile. Principal factors responsible for the Hα\alpha asymmetry are the high velocity of the accelerated CS preshock gas (3000\sim 3000\,km s1^{-1}) and a low Hα\alpha Sobolev optical depth in a combination with an occultation of the Hα\alpha emission by the photosphere.
