Supernova (SN) 2002hh was unusual among core-collapse SNe because it was highly reddened, and displayed a bright infrared (IR) excess due to radiatively heated dust in its circumstellar medium (CSM). Estimates for the mass of dust responsible for the IR echo suggested the presence of a massive shell within 0.26 pc of the star. For a velocity of 5000–10 000 km s−1, this material should be hit by th...
