About: This programme will bring together theoretical and observational experts from 3 communities - massive star supernovae, the dark ages and first stars, and galaxy formation - with the aim of better understanding SLSNe and their host galaxies from the local to early Universe. We will address questions such as: What are the explosion mechanisms of SLSNe and are some bona-fide pair-instability supernovae? Can their progenitor masses be constrained and thus used to measure the form of the IMF at low and high redshift? What impact do SLSNe have on their host galaxies and are mergers important? What was their contribution to reionization? Are some SLSNe standard candles? What are the design requirements for future facilities to progress this field? And finally, what new physics needs to be explored? See http://www.munich-iapp.de/programmes-topical-workshops/2017/superluminous-supernovae/superluminous-supernovae/
