SN1997ab belongs to a class of luminous type II SNe which are thought to be powered by the interaction of the shock wave with a dense circumstellar medium. We report the discovery of narrow P-Cygni profiles atop broad Balmer emission lines, an unambiguous signature of a dense and slow circumstellar wind due to mass loss in the final stages of the progenitor's life.
