Who we are

The Nearby Supernova Factory (SNfactory) is designed to address a wide range of supernova issues using detailed observations of low-redshift SN, and accordingly includes a broader cross-section of scientists working on supernovae than could be accommodated within the mandate of the Supernova Cosmology Project itself. The Nearby Supernova Factory is a direct descendant of the very successful Spring 1999 Nearby Campaign, and will also function as a proving ground for the Supernova Acceleration Probe (SNAP).

Computer Terminal Reservations Schedule for Fall 2004


The key to two-letter user codenames is given at the end of the schedules.

Nominally we have three terminals in 50-5036B, but here I have only
assigned slots on two of them. You may request any other open slots, or
arrange a trade with someone in a slot you would like.
