Journal ArticleDOI
Properties of the SN 1987A Circumstellar Ring and the Distance to the Large Magellanic Cloud
TL;DR: The distance to SN 1987A was determined by comparing the angular size of its circumstellar ring, measured from an HST image obtained in a narrow forbidden O III 5007 A filter, with its absolute size derived from an analysis of the light curves of narrow UV lines measured with the IUE.
