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.
