Observations of Thermonuclear Supernovae - Kate Maguire
Offered By: Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore a conference talk on observations of thermonuclear supernovae presented by Kate Maguire from Trinity Dublin. Delve into the latest findings and research on these explosive stellar events as part of the "White Dwarfs from Physics to Astrophysics" conference held at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics. Gain insights into how astrometric, photometric, and spectroscopic all-sky surveys provide a comprehensive view of white dwarf populations in our galaxy. Discover how these observations contribute to our understanding of star formation, galaxy evolution, and potential gravitational wave sources. Learn about the challenges in modeling white dwarfs and the importance of improved physics inputs such as equations of state and opacities. Understand the significance of white dwarfs as diagnostic tools in various astrophysical applications and explore new scientific opportunities arising from recent observational data.
