Michał Pawlak talked about ASAS-SN.
9th OPTICON Gaia Science Alerts workshop
Jess McIver visit in Prague
Jess McIver from Caltech visited Prague and gave two talks: “Astrophysics with LIGO and gravitational waves” and “Gravitational-wave astrophysics: a new era of discovery”. In addition, she outline some of the problems of contemporary physics including diversity and representation of the population and discussed these issues with the students. The visit was supported by small grant “Role models in physics” from the US Embassy in Prague.
Observing techniques, instrumentation and science for metre-class telescopes II
Michał Pawlak gave a talk at Tatranská Lomnica on ASAS-SN and our efforts to combine it with the APOGEE survey.
Mass loss from binary stars
Congratulations to Dominika Hubová for successfully defending her bachelor thesis “Mass loss from binary stars”, focusing predominantly on gas stream from the vicinity of outer Lagrange point L2!

ERC Starting grant for our group
Very pleased to announce that our research on binary stars and transients was awarded ERC Starting grant with project Cat-In-hAT: Catastrophic Interactions of Binary Stars and the Associated Transients.
Starting in Fall, we will be looking for postdocs and PhD student in the general areas of computational astrophysics, numerical modeling, (magneto)hydrodynamics, radiation transport etc. Stay tuned for more information.
Talk on supernova cosmology
Tomás Müller from University of Southampton gave a talk on “Type Ia Supernova Cosmology: infrared light as a new window” during our regular science coffee time slot.
Conference on shocking supernovae
