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 http://people.physics.tamu.edu/pbrown/SwiftSN/swift_sn.html
This team focuses on the use of the Swift Optical Ultraviolet Supernova Archive
