Dear everyone,
We are currently organizing a KITP workshop which is scheduled to take place in the fall next year (Oct 26-Dec 18 2026): Enigmatic Explosions: Observations, Modelling, and Microphysics of Extreme Transients. The workshop will gather researchers interested in time-domain astronomy, nuclear and neutrino physics, as well as computational and theoretical modeling of mergers, supernovae, and other extreme astrophysical events.
We would like to encourage interested members of the ETK community to apply to the program. The primary application deadline is Oct 24th 2025, though KITP will continue to accept rolling applications afterwards.
You can find the application form here: https://www.kitp.ucsb.edu/activities/explode26 KITP generally prioritizes longer stays and we have ~27/30 spots available at any given time in the program for participants staying for 3 weeks or more, with a few participants staying for a shorter period of time.
Most participants can stay at the Munger residence near campus, and KITP can provide support to participants traveling with children and dependent adults. More information on housing and family support is available here: https://www.kitp.ucsb.edu/visitors/before-your-visit
If you have any questions about the program and/or application process, do not hesitate to let us know -- we hope to see many of you next year in Santa Barbara!
Best, Philipp
for the organizers of the workshop: Francois Foucart, Raffaella Margutti, Philipp Moesta, and Rebecca Surman
