The AAS High Energy Astrophysics Division (HEAD) is headed to Sun Valley, Idaho, 20-24 August for the 16th HEAD meeting.

Abstracts
Submit your oral or poster abstract by next Thursday, 25 May, at 9:00 pm ET to join the HEAD meeting program and share your work with others in high-energy astrophysics. If you miss this regular deadline, you have until the 15 June late deadline to submit a poster abstract.
Registration
The regular registration deadline is Friday, 28 July, so register by that date to avoid higher late/onsite fees. Find all of the rates and details on the Registration page.
Lodging
The hotel block at the Sun Valley Resort is full, but you can add your name to a waiting list, request a reservation at the Best Western Plus Kentwood Lodge, or take a look at other options available in the area.
Eclipse Viewing
HEAD meeting attendees have the opportunity to travel to the top of Bald Mountain to witness the total solar eclipse. You don’t want to miss this unique opportunity. Read more about it on the HEAD meeting events page and add this option when you register for the meeting.
Dependent Care Grants
The HEAD Executive Committee, along with the AAS, are committed to helping HEAD members with dependents attend HEAD meetings. Thanks to a generous anonymous donor, the HEAD Executive Committee is pleased to offer up to eight grants of $400 each to help offset dependent care costs for meeting attendees. These costs might include caregiver costs at the meeting or at home, or other expenses associated with dependent travel. Dependent care grant applications are due by Friday, 9 June.
Hope you can join us in Sun Valley!
