IAUS 296: Supernova environmental impacts

7 Jan 2013, 08:00 → 11 Jan 2013, 18:00 Asia/Kolkata

Lecture Hall (Raichak-on-Ganges (Near Kolkata), India)

Supernovae play an important role in energizing and enriching the interstellar medium. Supernova remnants are particularly important sites to study shocks and the acceleration of cosmic rays, both of which are important astrophysical processes in the interstellar medium. The symposium sponsored by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) will assess the rapid progress, both theoretical and observational, in understanding supernovae and their evolution to supernova remnants.
