Abstract: Supernovae have proven to be exquisite tools for a variety of astrophysics and cosmology topics. In this lecture, I will highlight a selection of dedicated tele- scopic surveys for detecting supernovae and I will report some of our interesting discoveries during the past few years. I will dedicate special attention to strongly lensed supernovae by galaxies and galaxy clusters. Under the right circumstances, multiple images of the lensed supernovae can be observed, and due to the variable nature of the objects, the difference between the arrival times of the images can be measured. Since the images have taken different paths through space before reaching us, the time-differences are sensitive to the expansion rate of the universe. Therefore, measuring time delays from strongly lensed supernovae is emerging as a novel and independent tool for estimating the Hubble constant (H0). This is very important given the recent discord in the value of H0 from two methods that probe different distance ranges: the ESA mission Planck value corresponds to 67.74 ± 0.46 km s−1 Mpc−1; [1], while a reanalysis of the local distance scale gives 73.24 ± 1.74 km s−1 Mpc−1; [2, 3], these measurements thus being inconsistent at the ≈ 3.5σ level. Therefore, the results of additional independent and high- precision techniques, which rely on different physics, are of key importance. In this context, I will report our discovery of the first resolved multiply-imaged gra- vitationally lensed supernova Type Ia [4]. Moving forward, I will discuss some of the prospects of upcoming facilities such as the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope and James Webb Space Telescope [5, 6].

Abstract: We report on orbital-dependent quasiparticle dynamics in EuFe 2 As 2, a parent compound of Fe-based superconductors, and a way to experimentally identify this behavior using time-and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy across the spin density wave transition. We observe two different relaxation timescales for photoexcited d x z/d y z and d x y electrons. While the itinerant d x z/d y z electrons relax faster through the electron-electron scattering channel, d x y electrons form a quasiequilibrium state with the lattice due to their localized character, and the state decays slowly. Our findings suggest that electron correlation in Fe pnictides is an important property, which should carefully be taken into account when describing the electronic properties of both parent and carrier-doped compounds, and therefore establish a strong connection with cuprates

Abstract: The claim by Moravcsik (1975) that “if verbs are borrowed, they seem to be borrowed as if they were nouns” generated a long-standing discussion within language contact research (see e.g. Wohlgemuth 2009 for a recent summary). More precisely, the claim was that “the borrowing language employs its own means of denominal verbalization to turn the borrowed forms into verbs”. This can be interpreted either as a statement about the integration pattern (which may not be mentally represented in monolinguals) or as a claim about the syntactic representation of borrowed verbs in general, whereby borrowed verbs contain an nP embedded under the vP. Both interpretations constitute important hypotheses, which can serve as useful windows into the relation between morphology and phonology. The rst interpretation is compatible with the claim by Simonović (2015) that the integration pattern essentially gets selected by Lexical Conservatism (Steriade 1997): the pattern with most preservation of the properties of the base and least stem allomorphy integrates loanwords. The second interpretation makes important predictions whose implementation is highly dependent on the theory of morphology employed. In this presentation I use a recent elaboration of Distributed Morphology in which the separation between roots and categorial heads is extended to derivational suxes (Lowenstamm 2015) and put it to use in accounting for verb borrowing and denominal verbalisation in three Western South Slavic varieties: Slovenian, Western Serbo-Croatian (henceforth Croatian) and Eastern Serbo-Croatian (henceforth Serbian). All three varieties have lexical prosody. Slovenian has lexically determined stress. In Serbo-Croatian each word has a lexically determined H, and stress assignment follows from its distribution: if the syllable with a H is initial, italso gets stress; if the syllable with a H is non-initial, the stress goes to the preceding syllable, forming a disyllabic rising accent (Zsiga & Zec 2013). Simonović (2018) discusses exceptional preservation of base prosody in Western South Slavic verbs, showing that WSS verbsallow only two prosodic shapes: stress/H stem-nally (1a)and stress/H on the theme vowel (1b), analysed as the contrast between accented and accentless roots. The only verbs which ever display more contrast are borrowed and denominal verbs (2). Since nouns generally allow more prosodic contrast than verbs (Smith 2011), Simonović (2018)argues that verb prosody should be viewed as the regular WSS prosody, whereas all the cases of additional contrast should beanalysed asa consequence of special Faithfulness, and, at least for the classes discussed by Simonović (2018),asingle type of special Faithfulness seems to be sucient: NF Smith 2001). Against the sketched background, variation within WSS is analysed. All three varieties have two patterns for denominal verbs which both allow for exceptional preservation of the base prosody: -a-ti and -ov-a-ti (illustrated in 2a; a isatheme vowel in both cases, ti is the innitive ending). Tellingly, each variety now hasastabilised borrowing pattern in which one of the two suxes is used for English verbs (illustrated in 2b). The necessity ofa denominal verbalisation analysis is relatively limited for Slovenian and Croatian, where a large majority of verbs (but not all) become reanalysable as verbalised accented roots (all the verbs in 3 have a stem-nal stress/H). For Serbian, however, virtually all borrowed verbs from the modern contact with English display the intermediate root -ov-, which makes the denominal verbalisation analysis very attractive. Completing the picture for all three varieties, we turn to older borrowed verbs, especially those from the contact preceding the one with English, in which alarge class of international verbs were integrated and in which no prosodic contrast is instantiated (4). In sum, the deverbal nominalisation analysis seems to beastrong cross-linguistic tendency rather than an absolute rule and its availability depends both on the phonological makeup of the available denominal verbalisation patterns and on the amount of prosodic contrast in the source language.

Abstract: Tako kot v slovenskem kulturnem in narodnem življenju nasploh tudi v berilih besedni umetnik z Vrhnike zaseda položaj drugega kulturnega svetnika, takoj za Francetom Prešernom. Čeprav je zapustil Slovencem impozanten literarni opus, zajet v tridesetih knjigah zbranega dela, in je najpomembnejši slovenski pisatelj in še zlasti dramatik, Cankarjeve šolske objave tudi ob letošnji stoti obletnici zaostajajo za Prešernovimi. V prvih desetletjih dvajsetega stoletja so nekateri sestavljavci beril za šolsko rabo prezahtevna besedila krajšali, cenzurirali ali celo potvarjali (npr. Brinarjev poseg v konec črtice Mater je zatajil). Cankarjeva šolska besedila so še vedno presenetljivo aktualna, tako tista pozabljena (npr. črtice Majsko veselje, Istrski osel in Peter Klepec ter kratek roman Nina) kot tista, ki so še vedno prisotna v vseh učnih načrtih (npr. avtobiografski roman Na klancu). Vsekakor nam tematsko, žanrsko in slogovno izjemno pester Cankarjev opus ponuja mnogo možnosti za problemski pristop do leposlovnega besedila. Ob stoti obletnici se pojavljajo tudi nove priredbe (npr. stripovske izdaje cikla črtic Moje življenje, povesti Hlapec Jernej in njegova pravica in drame Hlapci), ki nedvomno utrjujejo Cankarjev kanonski položaj, imajo pa tudi pomanjkljivosti in predvsem ne morejo nadomestiti poglobljenega branja izvirnika.
