Item 1. Supernova and Gamma-Ray Burst Remnants (Conference) 
===========================================================

(R. Chevalier, U. Hwang, M. Laming)

Feb 06 2006 - Feb 10 2006, KITP, UC Santa Barbara

The connection between supernovae and gamma-ray bursts has provided insights
to extend our understanding of both these phenomena beyond what was known
from studying them separately. A unique window into the connections between
the progenitors and mechanisms of supernova and gamma-ray burst explosions
is provided by their remnants. This meeting brings together experts of the
remnants of both supernovae and gamma-ray bursts to combine this collective
knowledge and to foster productive communication between theorists and
observers.
