ESA Science & Technology - Supernova and Gamma-Ray Burst Remnants

Start date: 06 Feb 2006
Address: Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of California, Santa Barbara, California, United States

The connection between supernovae and gamma-ray bursts has provided insights to extend our understanding of both these phenomena beyond what was known from studying them separately. A unique window into the connections between the progenitors and mechanisms of supernova and gamma-ray burst explosions is provided by their remnants. This meeting brings together experts of the remnants of both supernova and gamma-ray bursts to combine this collective knowledge and to foster productive communication between theorists and observers.
