Transients From Space

Description
Transient science is entering an exciting new era of discovery. The 2020 Decadal Survey named Time Domain Astronomy (TDA) as a top priority and NASA’s Physics of the Cosmos (PhysCOS) Program is undertaking important steps in NASA’s implementation of Astro 2020’s recommendations in the area of Time Domain And Multi-Messenger (TDAMM) astrophysics. New discoveries will be greatly impacted by space-based telescopes, including, but not limited to, HST, JWST, Swift, Chandra, NuSTAR, NICER, Fermi, XMM, TESS, Euclid, UVEX, ULTRASAT, LISA, and Roman. These telescopes probe new phase space in time, wavelength, and redshift, thereby opening up new sub-fields. This STScI workshop will explore novel research made possible by these telescopes and discuss how the community can optimize scientific output in the future. It will feature invited talks, contributed talks, posters, discussion panels, and fun social activities.
Workshop Objectives:
- Highlight and build off successful science driven by space telescope data and policies
- Uncover regions of overlap between telescopes and discuss opportunities for cross-mission synergies
- Identify community needs for research and collaboration, particularly in the upcoming era of big data
- Optimize future space-based observations for the entire community
Workshop Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Early-Time Observations: SNe Ia, Fast Transients, Shock Breakout
- High-Energy Transients: GRBs, GW
- Progenitors: pre-explosion variability, stellar evolution
- Infrared Transients: dust, SNRs, echoes, TDEs, AGN
- High-z Transients: Lensed SNe, extreme explosions (SLSNe, PISNe), TDEs, AGN
- Survey Science: Euclid, Roman, UVEX, Big Data
- Theory of explosive transients and compact objects
