NASA ExoPAG Convenes in Conjunction with 225th AAS Meeting

NASA's Exoplanet Exploration Program Analysis Group (ExoPAG) will hold its 11th meeting on Saturday & Sunday, 3 & 4 January 2015, just before the 225th meeting of the American Astronomical Society, in Seattle, WA. ExoPAG meetings are open to the entire scientific community. They offer an opportunity to participate in discussions of scientific and technical issues in exoplanet exploration and to provide input into NASA's Exoplanet Exploration Program (ExEP). All interested members of the astronomical and planetary-science communities are invited to attend and participate.

ExoPAG-11 will focus on soliciting input from the wider exoplanet community on ways in which NASA might facilitate exoplanet research over the next few years, as well as input on how it should prioritize its ExEP activities. The meeting will include reports from the active Study Analysis Groups, a Mini Workshop on Exoplanet Host Stars, a discussion of the Science Interest Group "Toward a Near-Term Exoplanet Community Plan," and a joint Cosmic Origins Program Analysis Group (COPAG)/ExoPAG meeting.

Questions and suggestions can be sent to Scott Gaudi, ExoPAG Chair, and/or Dr. Douglas Hudgins, ExoPAG Executive Secretary. News and information about NASA's ExoPAG and the ExoPAG-11 meeting can be found on the ExoPAG website.
