The IoP Astroparticle Physics (APP) group, in cooperation with the High Energy Particle Physics (HEPP) group, will hold a one-day event on multi-messenger observations of the next galactic supernova.
Preparations for observing this once-in-a-lifetime event are ongoing across many fields: Work on an updated Supernova Early Warning System (SNEWS 2.0) and next-generation neutrino detectors like DUNE and HK is progressing rapidly. At the same time, upgrades to gravitational wave detectors mean the upcoming observing run O4 will be sensitive to supernovae across most of the Milky Way. In the electromagnetic spectrum, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory will open a new era of transient astronomy, while several smaller telescopes optimised for multi-messenger follow-up are starting observations.
The goal of this workshop is to get neutrino people, EM people and gravitational wave people in the same room and we hope it might lead to future collaboration between different UK partners.
The workshop will take place on 7 April and will be held as a hybrid meeting with both in-person and virtual attendance possible. The in-person element will be hosted at King’s College London’s Bush House (South East) building at The Strand, London, WC2R 1AE. Although the event is free, registration is required due to space limitations for both in-person and online participation. Remote connection details will be provided later when registering with the Online Attendee Types.
Limited travel funding will be available for students and early career researchers. Please contact the conference organisers for more information.
