Dr Ewald Mueller (Max-Planck-Institut fuer Astrophysik)13/08/2011, 13:30The only means to get direct and immediate information about the engine of core collapse supernovae is from observations of neutrinos emitted by the forming neutron star, and through gravitational waves. The latter are emitted when the explosion involves time-dependent asphericities because of rotation, magnetic fields, non-radial flow, and anisotropic neutrino emission. In my talk I...Go to contribution page

Prof. Brian Schmidt (ANU)13/08/2011, 14:00SkyMapper is a new widefield 1.35m telescope located in Australia dedicated to surveying the southern sky. Its UV optimised 5.7 sq-degree FOV will map the entirety of the southern sky over the next 5 years, and will undertake specific programs to discover and monitor supernovae. In addition to the study of core collapse events directly, SkyMapper offers the ability to study core collapse...Go to contribution page

Dr Bruno Leibundgut (ESO, Garching)13/08/2011, 14:30The next generation of large ground-based telescopes will essentially increase the light-gathering power and the angular resolution. The talk will muse about possible directions supernova research may take when these telescopes become available. Predicting research a decade into the future is alway risky, but it is possible explore the new parameter space, which will open with these facilities.Go to contribution page

Dr Tomas Dahlen (STScI)13/08/2011, 15:30In this talk I will review the efforts made to measure the volumetric rates of supernovae, focusing on core collapse supernova, to cosmological distances, z~1. This includes the recently derived rates from the HST Supernovae Search and the Stockholm Vimos Supernova Search. I will include a discussion on the various issues that have to be address in order to minimize statistical errors when...Go to contribution page
