Description:
|
The Aggienova research group will study the catastrophic deaths of stars. The last decade has seen an explosion in the amount of ultraviolet observations of supernovae. We will use ultraviolet observations from the Swift and Hubble space telescopes as well as ground-based optical and near-infrared data. We will exploit that data and make tools to better understand nearby supernovae as well as those observed at high redshifts. I will be giving a talk on my research on Monday December 5, at 11:30 in M102 of the Mitchell Institute if you would like to hear what I am working on. https://mitchell.tamu.edu/events/seminars/#astro Official meetings will start next semester, but background work can begin before the break.
