General Announcement: ======================== On February 23, 1987, detectors on Earth recorded a pulse of neutrinos emitted by SN1987A. This historic event was the first and only detection of neutrinos from outside of our solar system. We plan a conference at the Hilton Waikoloa near Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii on February 23 to 25, 2007, the 20th anniversary of this event. The conference will review what we have learned about supernovae in the past twenty years and what a future supernova might tell us. Talks are by invitation only. Scientific topics include: the history of SN1987A, theoretical developments in understanding supernovae and their environments, neutrino properties and what supernovae can teach us about them, and present and planned neutrino detectors. Detailed information on the conference is found at the conference web site: http://sn1987a-20th.physics.uci.edu/. Email may be sent to the local organizing committee (LOC) at: sn1987a [at] suketto.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp 2. Preliminary Scientific Program: ================================== The preliminary program of the conference is attached at the end of this bulletin. It is also available on the conference web site. 3. Poster Session: ================== There will be a poster session; the subject of the poster must be relevant to the conference theme. If you wish to make such a presentation please submit an abstract to the LOC. They will supply you with the details of space and mounting after the poster is accepted. 4. Registration: ================ Registration is via the conference web site. Please register as soon as possible. Conference registration includes coffee breaks and the conference banquet. There is a 75 dollar cancellation fee for cancellations made prior to February 15, 2007. Cancellations made after February 15, 2007 are non-refundable. Registration Fees are as Follows: --------------------------------- * Standard Registration (before December 20, 2006): 350 dollar * Late Conference Registration (December 21, 2006 - February 15, 2007) - 400 dollar * On-Line Conference Registration will close on February 15, 2007. * On-Site Registration (after February 15, 2007) - 450 dollar Registration will take place at the Waikoloa Promenade from 5:00 to 6:00 PM each evening starting on Feb. 22. The conference will begin on the morning on Feb. 23. All sessions will be in the hotel in the Waikoloa 2 facility. 5. Accommodations: ================== The conference will take place on the Big Island of Hawaii at the Hilton Waikoloa Village resort. A block of rooms has been reserved for conference attendees at the Hilton Waikoloa at the government rate of 150 dollar/nt, single or double occupancy. This rate is exclusive of tax (currently estimated at 11.41%). Additional roommates are 45 dollar each plus tax. Children under 18 are free if they use existing bed space in the room. Breakfast is not included in the room rate. To obtain the special conference rate, reservations must be made through the conference website. Reservations must be accompanied by a valid credit card number and expiration date to hold as a deposit on your room. Your card will not be pre-charged unless you cancel within the penalty period or you do not arrive as scheduled. The deadline for reserving rooms is January 17, 2007, based on availability. Please make your hotel reservations as soon as possible. 6. Transportation to the Hilton Waikoloa Village: ================================================= Independent taxies, a Hilton shuttle and rental cars are available. For more details please visit the web page 7. Mauna Kea Tour: ================== We are planning an excursion to the observatories on Mauna Kea, on the afternoons of 22 February and 26 February, the day before and the day after the conference. Your choice of whether or not you would like to join this tour and your preferred tour day is requested on the reservation webpage. 8. Miscellaneous: ================= On October 15, 2006 an earthquake of magnitude 6.6 occurred a few miles off the Island of Hawaii. The Hotel reports that there was no significant damage or injuries and that all operations were normal by the next day. ********************************** Scientific Program (Preliminary) ********************************** -------------- Friday Feb. 23 -------------- I.
