LABORATORY ASTROPHYSICS DIVISION (LAD) SUMMER MEETING MADISON, WI
MAY 31-JUNE 4, 2020; ABSTRACTS DEADLINE MARCH 10, 2020
Dear Planetary Science Community,
We are working on enhancing the exchange and collaboration between DPS and
LAD and we invite you to submit abstracts to the LAD meeting in Madison, WI.
Deadline is March 10, 2020. Abstracts related to any area of planetary science
(observational, modeling, laboratory) and astrophysics that need, utilize, or
provide laboratory data are welcome.
Laboratory Astrophysics Division (LAD) is one of the divisions of the AAS, just
like DPS. LAD focuses on facilitating collaboration among laboratory astrophysicists
and planetary scientists and their observational/modeling counterparts. Our goal
is to bring LAD and DPS communities together.
This year’s LAD meeting has several invited talks that cover both astrophysics
and planetary science research areas. Plenty of room has been left in the schedule
for several contributed talks and posters! Please plan to attend and present your
latest results at what will be one of top meetings for Laboratory Astrophysics in
2020!
We invite you to submit abstracts (deadline March 10, 2020).
Please go to https://aas.org/meetings/aas236 for abstract submission, registration, etc.
For the LAD Executive Committee,
Murthy Gudipati
Vice-chair
Laboratory Astrophysics Division
American Astronomical Society

until 5:00PM on April 01, 2020 HST. Available instruments include: (1) SpeX,
a 0.7 – 5.3 micron cross-dispersed medium-resolution spectrograph (up to R=2,500)
and imager; (2) MORIS, a 512x512 pixel Andor CCD camera (60"x60" field-of-view)
mounted at the side-facing window of the SpeX cryostat that can be used simultaneously
with SpeX; (3) iSHELL, a 1.1 – 5.3 micron cross-dispersed echelle spectrograph
(up to R=75,000) and imager; (4) MIRSI/MOC, a 5 – 20 micron camera and grism

SBAG EARLY CAREER OPPORTUNITIES, TRAVEL SUPPORT, AND LIGHTNING TALKS
SBAG Early Career Opportunities
The next SBAG meeting will be June 1st and 2nd in Laurel, MD. We have two
opportunities at specifically aimed at the early-career small body community:
Early-career travel support: With funding from NASA, we are planning to offer
limited U.S. travel support for early career scientists to participate in the SBAG 23
meeting. Interested undergraduate students, graduate students, postdocs, and other
early career scientists (within 5 years of PhD/MS/BS) should submit a letter
and a CV to SBAG early-career secretary Terik Daly (terik.daly@jhuapl.edu) by
COB (5 pm Eastern time) 3 April 2020. Further application information can be
found on the SBAG website (https://www.lpi.usra.edu/sbag/).
Lightning Talks: We are providing time on the agenda for early-career scientists
and engineers present at the meeting to introduce themselves and their research to
the community. The talks will be 3 minutes each. If you are interested in giving a
lightning talk, please contact the Terik Daly (terik.daly@jhuapl.edu) two weeks
before the meeting.
