660. WE-Heraeus-Seminar: Supernovae – From Simulations to Observations and Nucleosynthetic Fingerprints

Observations and theoretical models have made impressive progress in understanding supernova explosions thanks to the advent of huge transient surveys and advances in high-performance computing. To consolidate progress, it is important to make specialists in different aspects of supernova research aware of progress and challenges on other fronts. Together with Anders Jerkstrand (Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics Garching) and Bernhard Mueller (Queen’s University Belfat), PSO group member Markus Kromer is co-organizing the 660. Wilhelm und Else Heraeus Seminar “Supernovae – From Simulations to Observations and Nucleosynthetic Fingerprints”, to be held at Physikzentrum Bad Honnef from January 21 to 24, 2018. The seminar, generously funded by the Wilhelm und Else Heraeus Stiftung, will bring together world-leading experts, early career researchers, and students to discuss the physical modelling of stellar explosions, their nucleosynthesis, radiation transfer, and supernova observations to identify future opportunities at the intersection of these four different research fields.
