Astrobiology: Life in the Universe

Astrobiology Science and Technology for Exploring Planets (ASTEP)


  1. Molecules in the Atmospheres of Extrasolar Planets - A Workshop in Paris

    When November 19, 2008 (Wed) ~ November 21, 2008 (Fri)
    Where Salle Cassini, Observatoire Paris, Paris, France

    Exoplanets are being discovered at an ever accelerating pace, and planetary scientists and astronomers are increasingly called upon to make the transition from discovery to characterization. This workshop aims at bringing together different scientific communities: solar system planetary scientists, brown dwarf and exoplanet modellers and observers, molecular spectroscopy and instrument development experts. We will cover different topics: radiative transfer, line lists, photochemical models, dynamics, and observations using space- and ground-based facilities. Current results will be discussed in the context of the preparation of upcoming missions, SPITZER, JWST, and SPICA, and the next generation of direct detection mission concepts from ground and space.
