AGU Invites Exoplanet Astronomers to 2018 Fall Meeting

This item is posted on behalf of Brooks Hanson, AGU Executive Vice-President, Science:

The American Geophysical Union's (AGU) Fall Meeting in Washington, DC, 10-14 December 2018 features numerous sessions on exoplanets, exploring the interface between astronomy and astrophysics and planetary science and geophysics.

As part of the joint AAS-AGU effort to advance exoplanet science, funded by the Kavli Foundation, AAS members are welcome and encouraged to submit abstracts, even if you're not also an AGU member (normally a prerequisite if you wish to present a paper at the AGU Fall meeting). If you are interested in sharing your science at the AGU Fall Meeting but are not an AGU member, please email the AGU to register for an account before submitting your abstract.

Don't delay, as the abstract deadline is Wednesday, 1 August 2018. (Sorry for the short notice!)

Here are some of the exoplanet-related sessions at this year's AGU Fall Meeting:

• P003: Aurora and Airglow in Planetary and Exoplanetary Atmospheres
• P010: Climate and Habitability of Rocky Planets in the Solar System and Beyond
• P011: Comparative Planetology and the Solar System as a Gateway to the Exoplanets
• P022: Icarus Worlds: Understanding the Volcanic and Magma Ocean Environments of Highly Irradiated and Tidally Heated Rocky Exoplanets and Planetary Satellites
• P023: Impacts of Space Weather from the Sun and Active Stars on Atmospheric Evolution of Terrestrial (Exo)Planets
• P028: Observations of Planets Near and Far with Next-Generation Telescopes
• P029: Planetary Atmospheres and Evolution
• P030: Planetary Habitability and the Main Control Factors

Please spread the word about this special opportunity for AAS members and AGU members to come together and strengthen bonds to advance exoplanet research!
