Wednesday Sept. 23 (lunch time) to Friday Sept. 25 (lunch time)

Institute of Astronomy, Cambridge, UK

Rationale

The workshop will focus on the potental of high angular resolution surveys and
studies of (circum-)nuclear transients (e.g. SNe and TDEs) in galaxies. While
the newly-started wide-field transient surveys are now strongly increasing the
transient statistics locally the objects that occur within the nuclear regions
galaxies, and especially in starburst galaxies and luminous infrared galaxies
(LIRGs) have remained mostly unrevealed. The idea of this informal workshop is
to get together and exchange ideas on the ongoing and future high resolution
transient surveys, such as the Gaia transient searches, the near-IR AO
searches for supernovae in LIRGs, radio searches and studies of SNe in LIRGs,
also connecting with the star formation properties and studies of the
actively star forming host galaxies at high angular resolution.

Main science topics:

1. Gaia Alerts at high spatial resolution

2. NIR adaptive optics detection and study of transients

3. Interferometric radio and sub-mm detection and study of transients

4. Detection and study of tidal disruption events (TDEs)

5. High resolution studies of starburst galaxies and LIRGs

Format

Informal - everyone will give a talk & there will be plenty of time for discussions

Accomodation and travel

2015-06-09T14:17:50Z

Seppo.mattila:

== Travel ==

If you are arriving from outside the UK, the best option is to fly into Stansted Airport. From the airport, you can get a train direct to Cambridge for about £14.50 return. Timetables are available here, and you can buy your ticket at the station. The journey to Cambridge is around 40 minutes.

Within Cambridge, your options for travel are either walking, cycling, or taxis. Buses are not particularly useful for travelling to the IoA from the station.

While Cambridge is quite a small town, it is a ~2.5 mile walk from the train station to the Institute of Astronomy.

The two local taxi companies are [http://www.panthertaxis.com Panther Taxis] (01223 715715) and [http://www.camcab.co.uk/ Camcab] (01223 704704). The typical price from the station to the IoA is ~£9, and there is a taxi rank in front of you when you exit the train station.

Alternatively, if you are feeling adventerous, you can hire a bike for around £12 a day.

The IoA is located [https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Institute+of+Astronomy/@52.21413,0.09326,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x47d8774aa08c005f:0x8fa7778c5e2b6ed4?hl=en here].

== Accomodation ==
Recommendations for accomodation are below, note that all of these have breakfast included. We advise you to book your accomodation sooner, rather than later, as many of these are bed and breakfasts which have a limited number of rooms. If you have any difficulties finding accomodation, please contact Morgan.

Westminster College

Located equidistant from the IoA and the town centre. Prices £69 per night including breakfast. Book [https://www.conferencecambridge.com/accommodation/ here].

The Gardeners Cottage (3 rooms) and The Stables (2 rooms) 

These rooms are in the on-site accomodation at the IoA. Prices are £36 per night for the Gardeners Cottage, and £30 per night for the Stables. As these are much cheaper than rooms in town, they are ideal for students or those with a limited budget. Please e-mail Morgan if you want one.

Arundel House Hotel

£85 per night, about 5 minute walk from the centre of town. [http://www.arundelhousehotels.co.uk/cambridge/index.php Booking link].

Benson House (B+B) 

Another B&B, close to the IoA [http://www.bensonhouse.co.uk/ Booking link].

Canterbury House (B+B) 

Also close to the IoA. £45-55 per night for a single room. [http://www.canterburyhouse.co.uk/ Booking link].
