How do I use this calendar?

You can click on an event to display further information about it.

The toolbar above the calendar has buttons to view different events. Use the left and right arrow icons to view events in the past and future. The button inbetween returns you to today's view. The button to the right of this shows a mini-calendar to let you quickly jump to any date.

The dropdown box on the right allows you to see a different view of the calendar, such as an agenda or a termly view.

If this calendar has tags, you can use the labelled checkboxes at the top of the page to select just the tags you wish to view, and then click "Show selected". The calendar will be redisplayed with just the events related to these tags, making it easier to find what you're looking for.

The Progenitors of Type Ia Supernovae

Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) have provided the first evidence that the
Universe is accelerating. Nevertheless, the nature of the progenitors
has remained a mystery, indeed controversial. In this talk I will
first summarize the main supernova explosion mechanisms and the
observational classification of supernovae. I will show how SNe Ia can
be used as standardizable distance candles and discuss possible
limitations of the method. In the main part of the talk I will
discuss the main progenitor models that have been proposed,
emphasizing the problems and advantages of each, and how they can be
observationally tested. I will then present some relatively recent
discoveries by the Palomar Transient Factory that directly constrain
the progenitors in a few cases.
