Title: Explosions in my data

Abstract:

Death throws, eruptions, and explosions of massive stars bloom in the night sky at the rate of 10s per second, yet today we "only" discover about one supernova per night, and from those discoveries we are trying to understand progenitors and genesis mechanisms of stellar explosions. How will our understanding change once with ender the era of Big (Astronomical) Data?  LSST will discover thousand supernovae per night, but will we know what to do with them? 

I will then discuss the statistical investigation of the CfA sample of Stripped Envelope Supernovae, the largest multi-band photometric and spectroscopic sample of stripped supernovae to date, which we released in 2014, and which is less then 100 SN large. What are we learning from the as-of-today-largest SN samples? Are we  developing the tools to study samples thousands of time larger?
