The work done in this group deals with various aspects of supernova research, for example:

Supernovae and circumstellar material around their precursors
Supernovae at high redshifts
Pulsars and Neutron stars
Supernova remnants
Gamma-ray bursts

We do both observational and theoretical research. Please see the individual home pages for more information.
