The AAVSO-SNEWS Campaign: Monitoring Potential Supernova Progenitors

Explore the collaborative efforts between the American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO) and the SuperNova Early Warning System (SNEWS) team in monitoring potential supernova progenitors. Dive into this special webinar featuring talks from Prof. Alec Habig, Co-Principal Investigator of SNEWS, and Dr. Bert Pablo, AAVSO's Staff Astronomer. Learn about the campaign's progress, its accessibility to various observing methods, and the exciting opportunities it offers to interested observers. Gain insights from Habig's background in particle astrophysics and Pablo's expertise in stellar variability, particularly binary stars. Discover how this collaboration aims to advance our understanding of supernovae and stellar evolution through a unique observational approach that targets bright, widely distributed celestial objects.
