Dr Vikram Dwarkadas (University of Chicago)12/08/2011, 09:00Stellar wind mass-loss and photo-ionization can modify the ambient medium around massive stars during their evolution. Using numerical simulations, we discuss the formation of the circumstellar medium (CSM) around massive stars, and the evolution of supernova shock waves within this medium. The shock-CSM interaction heats up the gas to X-ray emitting temperatures. The output from numerical...Go to contribution page

Prof. Alicia Soderberg (Harvard University)12/08/2011, 09:30For centuries, supernovae have been studied primarily in the visual band thanks to their strong optical emission that dominates the bolometric luminosity on timescales of weeks following the explosion. At the same time, some of the most profound advances in our understanding of supernovae have been made possible through observations at other wavelengths. Here I will review the unique...Go to contribution page
