" Where are all the missing supernovae?"

Stuart Ryder (Australian Astronomical Observatory)


Nearly half of all core-collapse supernovae expected on the basis of the cosmic star formation rate are missed by optical, seeing-limited surveys. The problem is even worse in Luminous Infrared Galaxies, despite their having the highest star formation rates, and hence supernova rates. Over the past decade we have used laser guide star adaptive optics facilities on the VLT, Gemini North and South, Keck, and now Subaru to reveal this "missing" population of supernovae. Correcting for this missed fraction of supernovae will be vitally important to interpreting findings from the LSST and even JWST.


Seminars are also held at JAC, CFHT, and IfA.
