We are pleased to announce an international workshop on theories of Astrophysical Big Bangs. The main topics of the workshop are listed below, although the topics are not limited to these areas. We aim to cover a broad range of astrophysical research concerning various types of cosmic explosions and compact objects.
- Neutron Stars
- Neutron Star Mergers
- Gravitational Waves
- Gamma-Ray Bursts
- Supernovae
- Supernova Remnants
This workshop aims to assemble leading experts in various fields of astrophysical big bangs for vibrant discussions and to foster new collaborations among participants.
