DPS–EPSC 2023: Day 4
Day 4 of the meeting brought an overview of Hubble observations of the giant planets and a debate about the presence of liquid water beneath Mars’s south polar deposits.
Astrobites reports on a study that uses JWST to investigate how warm, star-forming molecular gas is blown away by active galactic nuclei.
Widely spaced binary stars may get voted “Least Likely to Interact,” but they might surprise you: new research shows that under the right conditions, these distant stellar companions can get catastrophically close.
DPS 56: Day 4
JWST observations of giant exoplanet atmospheres, investigations of heating on Io and in asteroids, and a primer on open science brought the final day of DPS 56 to a close.
DPS 56: Day 3
Day 3 of DPS 56 brought a discussion of mental health in the planetary science community and new results regarding Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, Uranian moons, and co-orbiting bodies.
DPS 56: Day 2
Plenary talks during Day 2 of DPS 56 tackled the connection between exoplanet science and solar system science.
DPS 56: Day 1
This week we’re bringing you updates from the 56th meeting of the AAS Division for Planetary Sciences. Day 1 was all about asteroids and lab experiments!
Kerry Kroffe recently joined the AAS staff as the Director of Scholarly Publishing. Read on to learn about his journey to his current role and his goals for the publishing experience.
What happens when a giant star cluster gets trapped in a dance with the Milky Way’s central bar? A new study reveals that bar interactions are likely responsible for where we find globular clusters in our galaxy today.
