Our approach to supernova research complements numerical simulations with observations. We are mainly interested in the physical properties of supernovae and their progenitor stars or systems. And we also study these events as distance estimators.
This is a list of our research topics:
- Hydrodynamical modeling of SN light curves
- Alternative SN powering mechanisms
- Direct identification of SN progenitors
- SN light-curve shapes and spectral evolution
- Nebular spectroscopy of SNe
