(meteorobs) Jan. 10-13, 2000, AIAA meeting - special session on meteor plasmaphysics
Forwarded from Peter Jenniskens.....
FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT (JUNE 10, 1999)
Dr. Christophe Laux of Stanford University has proposed to create a special
session on meteors at the next 38th Aerospace Sciences Meeting&Exhibit of
the AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics). The meeting
will be held at Reno, NV, from January 10-13, 2000.
The special session will be entitled "Aerothermochemistry effects in
meteoric plasmas" and will be chaired by meteor astronomer Dr. Peter
Jenniskens of The SETI Institute at NASA/Ames Research Center and co-hosted
by plasma physicists Dr. Olga Popova of the Moscow Institute for Dynamics of
Geospheres RAS and Dr. Iain Boyd of the Department of Aerospace Engineering
of the University of Michigan. It will be a half day session and will
feature a maximum of eight half-hour oral presentations.
The AIAA meeting is usually very well attended (1600 participants last
year). This would be a tremendous opportunity for the plasmadynamics,
thermophysics, and fluid dynamics communities to learn more about the
physics, aerochemistry, and optical diagnostics of meteorids. Many
participants at the AIAA meeting work in the area of hypersonic flows,
plasma chemistry and plasma diagnostics. I trust this would be a great venue
to present the exciting findings that were described at the last Leonid
conference as well as some first results from the 1999 Leonid campaign.
The deadline for abstracts for this conference for this particular session
is June 22. Because of the short notice, all abstract requirements are
waived. At this time, we will collect proposed titles for presentations
only. No abstract needs to be submitted. Note that all presenters must
submit a written paper by the first day of the conference.
We will need the following information for each paper (by June 22, 1999):
- Paper title
- List of all authors with their affiliations (e.g.: NASA-Ames, Moffett
Field, CA, USA)
- Name, address, phone, fax and email of the one author who will receive all
correspondance
- Indicate any special needs for video equipment (VCR, 35 mm projector) [the
default is an overhead projector in each room].
Please respond to: pjenniskens@mail.arc.nasadot gov
This information will go into a printed program mailed to all registrants.
It will also be posted on the Web.
Additional information on the conference and venue can be found on the Web
at:

I look forward to this exciting session. I hope it will be possible to put
it together despite the very short notice. Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Peter Jenniskens
