Bridging the gap: from massive stars to supernovae
1-2 June 2016
Venue: Kavli Royal Society Centre, Chicheley Hall, England
Synopsis: The few seconds it takes to explode a massive star separate millions of years of stellar evolution from thousands of years of supernova evolution. In this meeting, we will discuss massive stars both before and after the explosion, from theoretical and observational perspectives, addressing how the pre-collapse life affects the explosion mechanism and supernova display.
