Re: New Supernova paper

[plotnick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I haven't seen the paper either; one rather old paper that discusses 
supernova effects is:

Tucker, W. 1977, The effect of a supernova explosion on the
Cretaceous Tertiary environment. Syllogeus, no. 12:111-124.

The following paper in the volume is also of interest:
Feldman, P. 1977. Astronomical evidence bearing on the supernova
hypothesis for the mass extinctions at the end of the Cretaceous.
Syllogeus, vol. 12:125-135.

The Tucker paper has a intersting table labeled "Plausible Sequence of
Events Resulting From a Supernova Explosion 18 Parsecs from Earth."  I
would be interested in Tom's astrophysicist's comments on this
particular scenario.
