Abstract
Multigroup radiation hydrodynamics is used to calculate the explosion of SN 1987A. The effects of spectral lines and broadening on the opacity are tak en into account. The UBV fluxes are predicted without assuming equilibrium of the spectrum. More stringent constraints are imposed on the explosion en ergy and the presupernova radius.
