Cosmic Transients in the Era of Large Surveys, day 2

The rapid development of dedicated large surveys for time-domain astronomy has revolutionized the discovery rate of cosmic explosions and other transient phenomena. The symposium, on June 13-14, collects observers and theorists to discuss the implications for astrophysics, cosmology and fundamental physics, as well as the open questions in the field.

Symposium at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm, 2024-06-14.
