The 2020 ANITA summer school on "Cosmic Explosions" will take place over three days (Mon-Wed). It will be followed by the 2020 ANITA theory workshop.

Topics covered will include:

• Stellar transients: Exploding massive stars
• High energy (X-ray and gamma ray) sources; integral field unit (IFU) observations (supernova remnants)
• Fast radio bursts: Including a site vist to the Molongolo telescope!

Detailed schedule:

Monday

 9:30 - 10:50: stellar evolution (Alexander Heger) - lecture slides
10:50 - 11:10: morning tea (USB / download data as needed)
11:10 - 12:30: massive stars, hands-on activity (Alexander Heger) - data files (3.5 GB), complete archive (2 GB), worksheet
12:30 - 13:30: lunch
13:30 - 14:50: massive stars/explosions (Bernhard Müller) - lecture slides
14:50 - 15:10: afternoon tea
15:10 - 16:30: massive stars/explosions hands-on activity (Bernhard Müller) - problems
16:30 - 17:00 break
17:00: Evening welcome drink & light snacks on site at Officer's Mess - DRESS CODE may be enforced! Which means casual-smart or above (NO flip flops/thongs; a collared shirt or blouse instead of sports wear/t-shirt).

Tuesday
LECTURE NOTES: here
 9:30 - 10:50: lectures on SN progenitors/remnants, Integral Field Unit SN remnant data (Ivo Seitenzahl). (5 GB of space for data needed).
10:50 - 11:10: morning tea (+usb download data as needed) - Link to data here (need 6 GB space).
11:10 - 12:30: session on integral field unit data of SN remnant(s) (Ivo Seitenzahl). N103B Jypyter notebook.
(to download the notebook so you can open it in Jupyter on your machine: Raw -> download whole file (e.g. command-S) -> save with extention .ipynb -> open in jupyter notebook).
12:30 - 13:30: lunch
13:30 - 14:50: lectures on high-energy (X-ray, gamma ray) explosions, nucleosynthesis (Fiona Panther), material HERE (download all files or clone the git repo).
14:50 - 15:10: afternoon tea
15:10 - 16:30: session on high energy explosions/transients (Fiona Panther)
16:30: free evening

Wednesday

 9:30 - 10:50: lectures on Fast Radio Bursts (Shivani Bhandari) - virtual machine from ATNF (see email for running instructions).
10:50 - 11:10: morning tea
11:10 - 12:10: interactive session on FRBs (Shivani Bhandari)
12:10 - 12:40: quick lunch
12:45: Board bus to depart for tour of the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope with Chris Flynn and Tim Bateman
13:30 (approx): tour begins (tour includes basic afternoon tea)
16:30 (approx): tour concludes
16:45: (approx): Depart for Canberra by bus
17:30 (approx): arrive back at UNSW Canberra (and stop in the City).

Note: We will not cover rigorous mathematical working and proofs. We may provide links and material that you can/should read.

The school material will be presented by:

• Alexander Heger (Monash University)
• Bernhard Müller (Monash University)
• Ivo Seitenzahl (UNSW Canberra)
• Fiona Panther (UNSW Canberra)
• Shivani Bhandari (CSIRO)
