The night sky is not fixed and unchanging. Every second, huge stellar explosions, known as novae and supernovae, occur in the Universe. These explosions are the sources of the chemical elements that will later go on to form new generations of stars, planets and people. The rate at which we detect such explosions has accelerated in recent years and will continue to grow in the future. As we find more and more of these explosions, it has become clear they are not all the same.The scientific goal of the Fifty-One Ergs (FOE) 2019 conference is to bring together a group of experts in such explosions from all over the world. The conference will encourage the exchange of the latest discoveries and promote the collaborations which will lead to a better understanding of these explosions. The conference agenda also places a strong emphasis on the future of the research. FOE 2019 will feature several debates and panel discussions among the participants on the unsolved problems within the field.Fifty-One Ergs also has the goal of promoting the diversity of the astronomical community of the future. The organizers target speakers diverse in specialization, background, gender, ethnicity, and nationality, and then place them prominently in front of the most distinguished members of the field. At the same time, Fifty-One Ergs also deliberately seeks out scientists who are early in their careers and then gives them the chance to interact with more senior scientists who attend this conference.This award will provide support for twenty attendees who fall into these under-represented groups. The travel budgets of these two groups are often small and support can make the difference between them participating and not attending. Providing these opportunities to them increases the likelihood of successful careers for these groups of scientists, to the general benefit of astrophysics, of science in general, and of the nation.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

夜空不固定和不变。宇宙中，每一秒钟都会发生巨大的恒星爆炸，称为Novae和Supernovae。这些爆炸是化学元素的来源，后来将继续形成新一代的恒星，行星和人。近年来，我们发现此类爆炸的速度已经加速，将来将继续增长。随着我们发现越来越多的爆炸，很明显它们并不完全相同。五十一ERG（敌人）2019会议的科学目标是将一群来自世界各地的爆炸的专家组合在一起。会议将鼓励交换最新发现，并促进合作，从而更好地了解这些爆炸。会议议程还非常重视研究的未来。 2019年敌人将在参与者中讨论该领域中未解决的问题的几次辩论和小组讨论。fifty-One ERGS还具有促进未来天文学社区的多样性的目标。组织者针对的是专业，背景，性别，种族和国籍的演讲者，然后将他们占据着最杰出的领域成员面前。同时，五十一名ERG还故意寻找职业生涯早期的科学家，然后使他们有机会与参加此次会议的更多高级科学家进行互动。这项奖项将为落入这些代表性不足的群体中的二十名参与者提供支持。这两个组的旅行预算通常很小，并且支持可以使他们参与和不参加之间的区别。为他们提供这些机会，增加了这些科学家群体成功职业的可能性，对天体物理学，一般的科学和国家的普遍利益。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的审查标准来通过评估来通过评估来支持的。
