SUMMARY:Part 1: A supernova search in starburst galaxies & Part 2: Starburs
 ts and EMIR project
DESCRIPTION:Part 1: A supernova search in starburst galaxies & Part 2: Star
 bursts and EMIR project\nDr. Matteo Miluzio\n\nWith the aim of testing the
  relation between supernova (SN) rate and star formation rate, we conducte
 d a SN search in a sample of local starburst galaxies (SBs) where both sta
 r formation rates and extinction are extremely high. The search was perfor
 med in the near-infrared, where the bias due to extinction is reduced usin
 g HAWK-I on the VLT. We discovered six SNe, in excellent agreement with ex
 pectations, when considering that, even in our search, about 60% of events
  remain hidden in the nuclear regions due to a combination of reduced sear
 ch efficiency and very high extinction.In addition I will present my plans
  for next months at IAC for the "Starbursts and EMIR project". I will part
 icipate in the commissioning of the instrument at La Palma, collaborating 
 in the development of the ETC and I  will compile a catalog of starbu
 rsts for EMIR with the aim to study their imprint in the cosmic evolution 
 of galaxies.
