Welcome to the Tsinghua Transient workshop 2012 (宇宙瞬变源研讨会)!
November 5-9th, 2012
Third floor Conference Room, Science Building，Tsinghua University

This workshop has a dual purpose: to discuss important topics in the field of SNe and related areas;
to involve the various groups based in Beijing with work done in this area, addressing in
particular younger researchers (students and postdocs).

We want to bring together a small group of people involved with the observations and theoretical
interpretation of different types of Supernovae. The workshop will be conducted in a collaborative
mode, leaving ample time for discussion and the development of common projects. In our view, the
workshop should be the seed of new projects and collaborations, which will hopefully involve some of
the local young researchers.

We are planning to devote each day to a different topic. These will tentatively be:
- Type Ia SNe: Physics and Cosmology
- Core collapse SNe: Observations, evolution, link to progenitors
- GRBs and SNe: Observations, scenarios, link to progenitors
- Surveys: integration of data, spectroscopic follow-up

Organisers:
Charling Tao, Paolo Mazzali, Elena Pian, Liu Guoqing, Li Shiyu, Chen Juncheng, Nicolas Chotard
