LiveBlogging the IMPU Supernova Workshop: What is this?


So I’m attending a workshop on supernovae at IPMU in Kashiwa, Japan, and instead of just passively watching, I thought I’d try and take notes on the talks in real time. So what you’re seeing here are my notes (pretty sketchy, sorry) of the meeting. I may also drop in some commentary if I feel inspired. Or perhaps I’ll just get tired of it and stop at some point. Time will tell.

One note already. The Mac fraction seems suspiciously large in the astronomy world, at least as far as laptops are concerned. Well above the rate they are seen in the wild. Peter Nugent is up next.

Of course, you can feel free to ignore all of this cryptic astrophysics nonsense.
