Thank you for your interest this event is now closed, we look forward to seeing all the accepted participants soon.
Recently a neutron star merger was observed with gravitational waves and electromagnetically at frequencies from radio to gamma rays. This single event GW170817 dramatically advances nuclear astrophysics and heralds an exciting new era in multi-messenger astronomy. To allow a broader audience to better appreciate these developments, we will teach a summer school May 16-18, 2018 at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) in East Lansing, MI. The school is intended for an inclusive audience of graduate students, post docs, and more senior researchers working in nuclear physics, astrophysics, astronomy and related areas.
Lecturers:
Brian Metzger (Columbia) Kilonovae
Charles Horowitz (Indiana) Neutron rich dense matter and the equation of state
David Radice (Princeton) Simulations of neutron star mergers
Katerina Chatziioanno (Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics) Gravitational wave observations of GW170817
Luke Roberts (MSU) R-process nucleosynthesis and weak interactions in mergers
Hendrik Schatz (MSU) Nuclear experiments for the r-process
Location and time:
FRIB, East Lansing, MI, May 16-18, 2018.
The school is organized by the FRIB Theory Alliance . For selected participants we will provide partial support which may include lodging and meals. We will not provide support for transportation expenses.
