[Okc-wp4] Your working group description

[Emily Freeland]

Hi all, in case you didn't see this in your slack channel, below is a
description of your working group for the website.  Please let me know if
you find anything missing or incorrect.

The Extreme Object working group at the Oskar Klein Centre summons
researchers working on the most compact and energetic astrophysical objects
in the universe.  Much of the research connects to transient objects, like
supernovae, gamma-ray bursts, active galactic nuclei, and macronovae.
Observationally, group members have engagements in the Zwicky Transient
Facility to observe transients at optical wavelengths, and in FERMI to
detect the transient gamma-ray sky, as well as the IceCube neutrino
observatory. A group at KTH has developed their own X-ray polarisation
balloon experiment to probe the Crab Nebula and the black hole Cygnus X1.
Theoretical work on relativistic hydrodynamics underpins such efforts, just
as theoretical exploration of supernova spectral synthesis and prompt
emission from gamma-ray bursts accompany the observational programs.

The Extreme Object working group meets bi-weekly and meetings often include
two presentations from members or visitors.  The group leaders are Jesper
Sollerman and Francesco Taddia.
