Focus Week on Messengers of Supernova Explosions
The goal of this Focus Week is to bring together supernova researchers from
various backgrounds to identify new synergistic opportunities in studying
the supernova explosions using photons, neutrinos, and cosmic rays. We
plan to focus on some specific aspects of supernova explosions, in
particular, on their aspherical nature. The daily schedule will include a
few presentations and plenty of time for informal discussions.
