Parallel sessions

The next generation of wide-field sky surveys will discover and reveal a large diversity of traditional types of supernovae (e.g. Ia, II, Ibc), together with very exotic and rare transients (e.g. superluminous supernova, Calcium-rich Supernovae, fast blue transients, tidal disruption events). Exploring transients in a wider parameter space allows us to challenge our perspective and understanding of the physical processes involved in these phenomena. This session gives us the opportunity to discuss this new population of transients (both observations and theory) and the necessary preparations and strategy to perform their classification and follow-up for surveys such as LSST, 4MOST, E-ELT.
