John Hillman passed away on Sunday, February 12.
John earned his B.S., M.S., and Ph. D. in Physics, all from
American University. He was a senior scientist Emeritus for
the Laboratory for Extraterrestrial Physics at NASA
Goddard Space Flight Center and a visting senior research
scientist with the Department of Astronomy at the University
of Maryland. Many members of the DPS know John from his time
at GSFC, HQ and UMD, after his "retirement."
From someone that spoke to John late last week:
He and I talked late last week and he still had his old spirit!
He died at his home surrounded by family where he got his
wish to see a snowfall one more time.

Special Icarus Issue on the Deep Impact Mission to Comet 9P/Tempel 1.
The Editorial Office of Icarus has agreed with the
Deep Impact mission science team to have a special issue of
Icarus devoted to papers describing the Deep Impact mission
results as well as those from relevant ground based and
spacecraft based observations of Comet 9P/Tempel 1 during
the months around the impact. Manuscripts for papers to be
included in the special issue should be submitted to the
Icarus web site, http://icarus.cornell.edu/, no later than
April 1, 2006. When submitting, please clearly state
in either the submission form or in a separate cover letter
that your paper is intended for the Deep Impact special issue.
The goal is to have corrected proofs of accepted papers
available electronically on the Elsevier/Icarus web site late
in 2006 and the paper volume ready by early 2007. Authors will
be held to a tight schedule of submission and revision, so as
not to delay publication of the special issue. Papers that fall
behind that schedule will of course be considered for publication
in later regular issues of the journal.
So that we can estimate the likely number of papers, please
e-mail Mike Combi, Editor at mcombi @ umich.edu if you plan
to prepare a manuscript. Papers must be original, finished
work of high quality. The work must not be under
consideration for publication elsewhere. All papers will
be reviewed, generally by two independent referees. Special issue
papers are held to the same standards as regular submissions
regarding acceptable subject matter and reviewing. Please see
the Guide for Authors for detailed manuscript preparation information
at: http://icarus.cornell.edu/information/authors.html
There are no page charges, however, authors will be charged for
any color reproduction that appears in the print issue.
