Abstract Deadline: Progress in Understanding the Pluto System: 10 Years after Flyby

NASA's New Horizons mission conducted the first and only exploration flyby of the Pluto system, culminating at the closest approach on July 14, 2015. This meeting (see https://www.hou.usra.edu/meetings/plutosystem2025/) will assess advances regarding all aspects of the Pluto system and other dwarf planets of the Kuiper Belt made since then, using New Horizons and all other data (ground-based, JWST, HST, etc.), as well as through theory and modeling. Session topics include: Pluto; Charon; Pluto's Small Satellites; Kuiper Belt Dwarf Planets; Pluto and Satellite System Origins; and Past and Future Exploration of Pluto, the Kuiper Belt, and the Outer Solar System.

The conference will be held July 14–18, 2025 at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland. Abstracts for both oral and poster presentations are being accepted through April 18th at 5 pm CDT. Oral papers can be given in person or virtually. Registration will last until the end of the meeting, with an early bird deadline for a reduced registration rate. Optional events are available for meeting attendees.
