[ASA] Session of interest to astronomers at MetSoc

[John O'Byrne]

Dear astronomers,

We would like to bring to your attention that at the Meteoritical Society meeting in Cairns, 12-17 August, just after NiC6, there will be a special session to bring together astronomers and planetary scientists: "From Dust to Planets - The Formation of Solar Systems" 

A coherent understanding of planetary system formation and evolution requires us to combine information from many scales, both observation and theory: meteorite analysis, planetary astronomy, the dynamical modelling that shows major planetary architectural rearrangements have led to the Solar System we see today. To aid in building this community understanding of planetary systems, our own Solar System's history, and the origin of the Earth, we invite talks on all aspects of theoretical and observational protostellar disks and planetary formation, dynamics, geomorphology, astronomy, and big-picture meteorite studies, particularly approaches linking meteoritical and astronomical data.

Abstracts are due by 29 May. We hope to see you there!


Sincerely,

Michele Bannister and Raquel Salmeron, convenors.
