Conference Support: Supernova 1987A: 20 Years After; Supernovae and Gamma-Ray Bursters; February 19-23, 2007; Aspen, CO

超新星：20年后；超新星和伽马射线暴2007年2月19日至23日，科罗拉多州阿斯彭。1987年2月23日，大麦哲伦星云爆发了超新星(SN)1987A，这是过去四个世纪中最亮的超新星，引发了大量的研究，激发了公众的兴趣和想象力。这次会议是为了纪念SN1987A成立20周年而举行的，所有广泛的SN1987A研究主题都将涵盖，包括核合成和爆炸机制的理论，前驱恒星，脉冲星和超新星遗迹的形成，与星周介质的相互作用，以及粒子加速机制。所有可用波长和非电磁辐射的观测将被详细讨论，会议将扩大到包括其他超新星、超新星宇宙学和伽马射线爆发。核心计划将包括一批备受尊敬的国际演讲者的回顾和特邀演讲。将有来稿演讲和海报演示，以及公开演讲。来自世界各地和该领域所有子专业的天文学家和天体物理学家的聚集将使人们更好地了解超新星和伽马射线暴及其对现代天体物理学所有领域的影响。美国和国际社会的大量参与将有力地增强此次会议的更广泛影响。

AST-0650471McCraySupernova 1987A: 20 Years After; Supernovae, and Gamma-Ray BurstersAspen, Colorado, February 19th to the 23rd, 2007.The outburst of supernova (SN) 1987A in the Large Magellanic Cloud on February 23, 1987, the brightest SN in the past four centuries, has led to an enormous amount of research and has sparked the interest and imagination of the public. This meeting is being held to commemorate the 20th anniversary of SN1987A.All of the broad SN 1987A research topics will be covered, including theories for the nucleosynthesis and explosion mechanisms, progenitor stars, pulsar and supernova remnant formation, interaction with the circumstellar medium, and particle acceleration mechanisms. Observations at all available wavelengths, and in non-electromagnetic emissions, will be discussed in detail, and the conference will expand to include other supernovae, supernova cosmology, and gamma-ray bursters. The core program will comprise review and invited talks from an international set of highly respected speakers. There will be contributed talks and poster presentations, as well as a public lecture. The concentration of astronomers and astrophysicists from all parts of the world and from all of the subspecialties of the field will lead to a better understanding of supernovae and gamma-ray bursters and their effects on all areas of modern astrophysics. Significant US and international participation will strongly enhance the broader impact of this meeting.
