Scientific paper

Supernovae are astrophysically extremely interesting objects. It is presently believed that most, if not all, heavy elements are created when stars explode as supernovae. About ten supernovae are presently discovered each year and much thought has been given to the problem of discovering new supernovae as early as possible after the rise in luminosity, in order to study the physics of such objects in their initial phases. Dr. Andre Muller from ESO has conceived many ingenious technical solutions to a wide variety of problems. In this article, he describes a new device for the quick and efficient detection of supernovae with the ESO 1 m Schmidt telescope. The results of the first practical tests of this method will soon be available.
