皆様

来年2007年は、超新星SN1987Aが観測されてから20年になります。
それを記念し、そしてこれからの超新星による宇宙・素粒子物理を議論するために

Twenty Years after SN1987A
==========================
What did we learn, what will the next SN tell us?

First Bulletin

Twenty Years after SN1987A
==========================
What did we learn, what will the next SN tell us?
-------------------------------------------------
February 23, 24 and 25, 2007
Hilton Waikoloa, Hawaii

 

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 have planned 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
could be learned from a future supernova. Talks will be by invitation only.
Scientific topics include: the history of SN1987A, theoretical developments
in understanding supernovae and their environments, neutrino properties and
what we can learn about them from a supernova, and present and planned
neutrino detectors.
Further information about the conference, registration and accommodations
will be available on the conference website:
