This is the group meeting for everyone interested in explosive transients of any kind. The meetings take place on Thursday at 11 am on Zoom and in-person at the old MPA lecture hall (401). All announcements will be made via the mailing list (garching_sn_meeting@eso.org). Tell Stefan Taubenberger, Christian Vogl, or Geza Csornyei if you want to subscribe!

Rough guidelines for contributions:

• You can either talk about your own research progress/hurdles/successes or present a recent paper.
• Your talk should only fill 30 mins to leave time for ample discussion within the hour.
• Contributions should be as informal as possible rather than seminar-type talks.
