Joint Discussion 09
SUPERNOVAE: ONE MILLENNIUM AFTER SN 1006
Thursday August 17
Organized by Division VIII, WG Supernovae
Participating Divisions/Commissions: VI & XII/34, 41 & 47
Scientific Organizing Committee: Gloria Dubner (Argentina), Claes Fransson (Sweden), Wolfgang Hillebrandt (Germany, co-Chair), Katsuji Koyama (Japan), Ken'ichi Nomoto (Japan), Robert Petre (USA), Pilar Ruiz-Lapuente (Spain), Brian P. Schmidt (Australia, co-Chair), Virginia L. Trimble (USA), J. Craig Wheeler (USA), and P. Frank Winkler (USA, co-Chair)
Editors of Proceedings: P.F. Winkler, W. Hillebrandt
The oral papers for JD 09 consist primarily of invited talks intended to celebrate the millennium of the 1006 C.E. supernova by reviewing the history of that spectacular event, current research on its remnant, and recent progress in understanding Type Ia supernovae, their remnants, and applications to cosmology.
