DESCRIPTION:
 Speaker: Krzysztof (Kris) Stanek\n
 Speaker's Institution: 
 Ohio State University\n
 Seminar Title: 
 "All-Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae: 
 Big Science with Small Telescopes"\n
 \n
 Even in 
 the modern era, only human eyes survey the 
 entire optical sky for\n
 the violent, variable, 
 and transient events that shape our universe. 
 To\n
 change this, we have built and implemented 
 the All-Sky Automated Survey\n
 for Supernovae 
 (ASAS-SN or "Assassin"). This is a long-term 
 project\n
 designed to monitor the entire 
 sky down to V~17 mag every 2-3 days using\n
 multiple 
 telescopes, hosted by Las Cumbres Observatory 
 Global Telescope\n
 Network, in the northern 
 and southern hemispheres. Our telescopes\n
 (currently 
 eight) consist of commercially 
 available telephoto lenses and\n
 CCD cameras, 
 so further expansion, leading to a 1-day cadence, 
 would be\n
 straightforward and relatively 
 inexpensive.\n
