We want to acknowledge all the people who kindly provided material, especially about the early phase of SR IR and the most recent progresses in the field we tried to summarize. A special thanks to helpful friends and colleagues from ex-LURE and Daresbury facilities, as well as from SOLEIL, ANKA, BESSY, MAX, Elettra, ESRF, the Hefei and Australian Synchrotrons, CLS, ALS, NSLS and SRC. One of the Authors (GC) wants also to thank Paul Dumas and Oleg Chubar at Soleil for the SRW code and the help with simulations.

Figure 15.7 Comparison of RS and WF spectromicroscopy for Cicada Wing. Chemical intensity maps of amide II and CHj absorbance bands obtained by integration of the respective bands (amide II 1588-1483 cm-, v,5 CHj 2931 2913 cm- ), (a), (b), and (c) represent the images obtained from the IR scans performed at the RS spectromicroscopy beamline at the Australian Synchrotron while (d) to (i) are the respective images obtained from the WF spectromi-crscopy IRENI beamline. The intensities of the integrated area of the amide II band (a, d, and g) and CHj antisymmetric stretching (b, e, and h) are shown in consistent color...

The discovery of a prompt radio burst is related to the epoch of shock break-out was an important Australian contribution to the studies of SN1987A. The burst lasted for only about a week, (Turtle et al. ), and can be understood in terms of free-free absorption of synchrotron emission (Storey and Manchester). The location of this radio emission was probably in the shocked stellar wind region of the star, with the free-free absorption arising from within this layer. The thickness of the emitting layer was estimated at only 4.8% of the radius, which would be consistent with a power law density distribution of matter with an index of 11.8. Since the first week, the radio emission continued to fade (despite some other reports to the contrary), becoming effectively unobservable at 843MHz after about 50 days.
