Oggetto: Astronomy seminar Friday 17/01: 10:30 FC61: Janet Chen


Dear all,
welcome back to the weekly appointment at our astronomy department.

The first speaker of 2020 is Janet Chen (SU). The seminar will take place Friday 17th of January in room FC61 at 10:30. Title and abstract are included below and in the Albanova agenda.


Title:
Exploring transients at extreme space phase with ePESSTO+

Abstract:
In this seminar, I would like to briefly introduce myself (as I am new here) and the projects I have been working on. I will present the advanced extended Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey of Transient Objects (ePESSTO+) programme. It has gathered the ESO community working on supernovae and unusual transients into one coherent team, developed efficient synergies with multi-messenger experiments and revolutionised the exploitation of wide-field surveys. I was PI of GROND supernova projects, and thus I will focus on the transients followed-up by the ePESSTO and GROND collaboration, which represent the extreme (e.g. the brightest superluminous supernovae or the fastest kilonova) of the luminosity-space of cosmic transients, providing a new dataset to understand their nature. Finally, I will also present the scientific goals of my Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship on photometric and spectroscopic sample study of kilonovae with ENGRAVE.
