Guillaume Blanc
I'm a post-doc fellow at Padova observatory. I work on very nearby
type Ia supernovae within an European Research Training
Network on The Physics of Type Ia
Supernova Explosions.
Quando c'è una bella notte stellata, il
signor Palomar dice: - Devo andare a guardare le stelle -. Dice proprio: - Devo, -
perchè odia gli sprechi e pensa che non sia giusto sprecare tutta quella
quantità di stelle che gli viene messa a disposizione.
Italo Calvino, "Palomar"
Research Activities
I'm interested in supernovae and their use as cosmological tools:
Current Work
- SN 2003gs
- Modelisation of type II supernova light curves
- What can we learn from supernova rate measurements?
