We are glad to announce a Special Session (SS31) titled “Numerical models of extreme stellar explosions: bridging the gap between the central engine and the emission region” at the upcoming EAS 2025 Annual Meeting.
The meeting will be held on June 23-27 in Cork, Ireland, with SS31’s exact date to be announced soon.
This special session aims at bringing together experts in the modeling of all the different phases that characterize extreme stellar explosions, from their initial onset to the emission of the electromagnetic transient. The main goal is to foster discussions and collaborations that will help the community to develop a deeper understanding of the fundamental physical processes at work during these events and trace the path to connect observed GRBs to their stellar progenitors.
We will focus on three major topics related to the modeling of extreme stellar explosions:
– The formation and dynamics of the central engine (i.e. extreme core-collapse supernovae, collapsar, binary neutron stars and neutron star-black hole mergers)
– The relativistic jet (launch mechanism, propagation through the stellar progenitor or the merger ejecta, interaction with the surrounding medium)
– The multi-wavelength electromagnetic and multi-messenger emission (including energy dissipation mechanisms and particle acceleration processes, GW, and neutrinos)
If you are interested in participating, you are kindly invited to submit an abstract by March 3.
We look forward to seeing you in Cork!
