Led by faculty in the Department of Astronomy, the All Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) is an international project to rapidly identify and study the brightest transient sources the universe. ASAS-SN leads the world in the discovery of bright supernovae, and in 2015 discovered the most powerful supernova ever detected. The approximately $40,000 grant from Women & Philanthropy will support valuable follow-up observations of ASAS-SN discoveries by funding the use of the Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network.
