This event is sponsored by the NASA's Exoplanet Exploration Program, with organizational and logistics support provided by the Center for Exoplanet Science at JPL. 6/23-6/28/2008 SPIE Astronomical Telescopes and Instrumentation 2008 Location: Marseille, France Description: An instrumental event that draws experts whose goal is to develop the technology enabling the discovery of the nature and origin of the Universe. The conference is presented with exhibits focused on technology enabling the frontier of scientific discovery. 7/13/2008 8:00 a.m. AstroSim Computational Astrophysics Conference: The Origin of Stars, Planets & Galaxies Location: Ascona, Switzerland Contact: Ben Moore 8/17/2008 8:00 a.m. Aspen summer workshop: Characteristics & Habitability of Super Earths Location: Aspen, Colorado Summary: This workshop will focus on the habitability and astrophysics of extrasolar Super-Earth-like planets. 10/9/2008 8:00 a.m. Astronomy and Astrophysics Advisory Committee (AAAC) Location: National Science Foundation, Room 1235 Description: The Astronomy and Astrophysics Advisory Committee (AAAC) is a federal advisory committee chartered under the Federal Advisory Committee Act. The AAAC resulted from one of the primary recommendations of the Presidential Committee on the Organization and and Management of Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics (COMRAA). COMRAA was originally called for in the President's budget blueprint for Fiscal Year 2002, which appeared in February 2001. 11/19-21/2008 Molecules in the Atmospheres of Extrasolar Planets Location: Paris Description: The 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, observations using ground based facilities (high-resolution spectroscopy in the optical and in the IR), and space-based observations. Present day.s results will be discussed in the context of the preparation of upcoming warm SPITZER, JWST, SPICA, and the next generation of direct detection mission concepts from ground and space. 6/7-6/11/2009 AAS Summer + 2010-2020: The Decade of Astrometry Location: Pasadena, California 6/21-6/26, 2009 Evolution of Planetary and Stellar Systems Location: Prato, Italy 7/10-7/24, 2009 New Technologies for Probing the Diversity of Brown Dwarfs and Exoplanets Location: Shanghai, China 7/12-7/18, 2009 12th Marcel Grossmann Meeting Location: Paris, France 7/21-7/23, 2009 New Science Enabled by Microarcsecond Astrometry Location: Socorro, NM     Privacy/Copyright Curator: Stephen Unwin Webmaster: Cecelia Lawshe
