The transient universe as seen by iPTF and ZTF

2 Jun 2014, 09:00 → 5 Jun 2014, 18:00 Europe/Stockholm

FD5

Venue

Albanova University Centre, Stockholm, Sweden

The workshop will take place at the Albanova University centre at the Stockholm University, where the Oskar Klein Centre is situated. Directions from the airport as indicated in the tab to the left.

Scope

The purpose of this workshop (registrations by invitation only) is to discuss ongoing scientific projects at iPTF and related programmes, and the planned Zwicky Transient Facility.

**** Registration will close on May 1 ****

We kindly ask you to make your hotel reservations ASAP. June is a very popular month for tourism in Stockholm.
If enough people express interest (see registration form), we plan to organize a boat trip on the Stockholm archipelago with dinner onboard on the evening of June 3.

Organizing committee

Rahman Amanullah, Claes Fransson, Ariel Goobar and Jesper Sollerman. Secretary: Serena Nobili (serena@fysik.su.se)
