The night sky is not fixed and unchanging. Every second, huge stellar explosions, known as novae and supernovae, occur in the Universe. These explosions are the sources of the chemical elements that will later go on to form new generations of stars, planets and people. The rate at which we detect such explosions has accelerated in recent years and will continue to grow in the future. As we find more and more of these explosions, it has become clear they are not all the same.The scientific goal of the Fifty-One Ergs (FOE) 2019 conference is to bring together a group of experts in such explosions from all over the world. The conference will encourage the exchange of the latest discoveries and promote the collaborations which will lead to a better understanding of these explosions. The conference agenda also places a strong emphasis on the future of the research. FOE 2019 will feature several debates and panel discussions among the participants on the unsolved problems within the field.Fifty-One Ergs also has the goal of promoting the diversity of the astronomical community of the future. The organizers target speakers diverse in specialization, background, gender, ethnicity, and nationality, and then place them prominently in front of the most distinguished members of the field. At the same time, Fifty-One Ergs also deliberately seeks out scientists who are early in their careers and then gives them the chance to interact with more senior scientists who attend this conference.This award will provide support for twenty attendees who fall into these under-represented groups. The travel budgets of these two groups are often small and support can make the difference between them participating and not attending. Providing these opportunities to them increases the likelihood of successful careers for these groups of scientists, to the general benefit of astrophysics, of science in general, and of the nation.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

夜空并不是固定不变的。宇宙中每一秒都会发生巨大的恒星爆炸，称为新星和超新星。这些爆炸是化学元素的来源，这些化学元素随后将形成新一代的恒星、行星和人类。近年来，我们检测到此类爆炸的速度有所加快，并将在未来继续增长。随着我们发现越来越多的此类爆炸，很明显它们并不完全相同。2019 年五十一次尔格 (FOE) 会议的科学目标是汇集来自世界各地研究此类爆炸的专家组。世界。会议将鼓励交流最新发现并促进合作，从而更好地了解这些爆炸。会议议程还重点强调了研究的未来。 FOE 2019 将以参与者就该领域内未解决的问题进行多次辩论和小组讨论为特色。五十一尔格斯的目标还在于促进未来天文学界的多样性。组织者针对不同专业、背景、性别、种族和国籍的演讲者，然后将他们放在该领域最杰出成员的显着位置。同时，“五十一个尔格斯”还特意寻找处于职业生涯早期的科学家，然后让他们有机会与参加本次会议的更资深的科学家互动。该奖项将为属于这些类别的二十名与会者提供支持- 代表团体。这两个群体的旅行预算通常很小，而支持可以决定他们是否参加。为他们提供这些机会增加了这些科学家群体职业成功的可能性，造福于天体物理学、整个科学以及整个国家。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
