[Astro] [CAPT] Astronomy Seminar 5/2 -- Prof. Isobel Hook

[Jesse Golden-Marx]

Hi Everyone,
      Our seminar speaker on Wednesday is Prof. Isobel Hook (Lancaster).  She'll be arriving on campus around 12:30.  We'll plan to go to lunch at Lakeside Arts around 1pm.  If anyone would like to join for lunch, please let me know by tomorrow evening (as usual, we can subsidize a few post-graduate students).

Isobel's talk is titled: Supernova observations with Euclid, Rubin and TiDES

The abstract is provided below.

On Wednesday, the timings of the events are:

Arrival ~ 12:30pm
Lunch ~ 1:00pm
meet the speaker for postgrads at 15:00, finishing at 15:30

post-seminar WINE AND CHEESE

Isobel will have a bit of free time during the day, so if anyone would like to meet with her, please let me know.

Cheers,
Jesse and Luke

Abstract:
In this talk I will discuss recent results and upcoming prospects for
observing distant supernovae. I will begin with a brief summary of
previous supernova surveys and the use of Type Ia supernovae in
cosmology. I will then focus on the expected advances enabled by the
Time Domain Extragalactic Survey (TiDES) which will use the 4MOST
instrument to obtain spectra tens of thousands of supernovae and their
host galaxies discovered by the Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of
Space and Time (LSST). I will also describe some early results and
prospects for supernova science with the Euclid mission, and discuss
how the combination of Rubin/LSST, TiDES and Euclid will advance
supernova cosmology.
