MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR: REGISTRATION RATES FOR DPS-EPSC 2023
Dear DPS and Europlanet Members,
We will soon open the registration website for DPS-EPSC 2023, so I wanted to take a moment to discuss the registration rates for this year’s meeting. Please read my detailed message here: news/message-chair-registration-rates-dps-epsc-2023
A full listing of the registration rates can be found here: https://aas.org/meetings/dps55/registration

DPS-EPSC ABSTRACTS DUE JUL 6
The DPS-EPSC Science Organizing Committee (SOC) is excited to provide an excellent science program for the upcoming meeting in downtown San Antonio, TX and online on Oct 1 – 6th.
Abstract submission is now open! The abstract deadline is July 6 – a little over two weeks from today. One first-author scientific abstract is permitted per individual; a total of up to two first-author abstracts are permitted if at least one is in the area of historical astronomy, workforce, education, outreach or DEIA (diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility).
The SOC encourages abstracts in all of (but not limited to) the following areas. Please note that some of the items on the list may not traditionally be emphasized at either DPS or EPSC; however, the SOC would like to be sure that the community is aware that such abstracts are welcome. Submissions in overlapping areas will be welcome and can be categorized in up to two relevant themes during submission.
Please reach out to the DPS-EPSC SOC co-chairs (Akos Kereszturi, Stavro Lambrov, and Tracy Becker) with any questions you may have.

WORKSHOP AND SPLINTER MEETING PROPOSALS
A workshop is a focused meeting, typically with a small group of invited participants, usually on an educational, programmatic, or career topic. Workshops are typically collaborative and interactive. Examples include tutorials on use of astronomical software, and tools related to scheduling and data analysis for observatories and missions. Formal Working Group meetings for observatories and missions are usually scheduled as workshops.
Submit Workshop proposals by 6 July (click this link)
Splinter Meetings are science or programmatic meetings that may be scheduled by organizations or groups usually in parallel to scheduled DPS sessions. These will usually require separate meeting space and may require A/V support, and/or catering.
Submit Splinter Meeting proposals by 14 July (click this link)

DPS TRAVEL GRANT AVAILABLE FOR THOSE FROM UNDERREPRESENTED MINORITY COMMUNITIES FOR DPS AND NSBP
Within the partnership between the AAS Division of Planetary Sciences (DPS) and the National Society of Black Physicists (NSBP), awards are available for members of Black/African American, Indigenous, and/or Latinx communities to support attendance at the annual DPS meeting and/or the annual NSBP meeting. The fund is intended to support DPS or NSBP meeting travel (when attending in person) and registration fees, and/or DPS or NSBP membership fees. The call is open through Aug 7, 2023 and award notifications are planned by the end of August. Hartmann and Dependent Care grants are also available – see information about all at: news/travel-grants-dps-55
DPS meeting abstracts are due July 6: https://aas.org/meetings/dps55 and NSBP meeting early-bird registration closes June 30: https://nsbp.org/general/custom.asp?page=preregistration.

SMALL SOLAR SYSTEM BODIES: SAMPLE RETURNS, JWST, GROUND-BASED ASTRONOMY AND MORE
Observations returned by space missions (e.g., OSIRIS-REx, Hayabusa 2, New Horizons…) and large telescopic facilities (e.g., JWST, Adaptive optics observations) offer a broad encompassing view of the populations of large planetesimals and dwarf planets that formed shortly after solar system formation. Most of these bodies have retained information on their accretional environments while others have undergone significant internal evolution.
The sample return missions will continue deciphering the solar system’s early history with the exploration of near Earth asteroids like Ryugu and Bennu. Upcoming flyby missions to visit 16 Psyche and Jupiter Trojan asteroids and instruments on the extremely large telescopes available in the next decade will provide observations with unprecedented details of many large planetesimals.
This session welcomes abstracts that address analyses of returned samples, new observations and models of large planetesimals found across the solar system, and contrast the properties of planetesimals found in various small body reservoirs.
Conveners: Franck Marchis (SETI Institute & Unistellar), Julie Castillo (JPL), Bryan Holler (STSCI)
AGU23, San Francisco & Online Everywhere, 11-15 December 2023
Abstract Deadline: Wednesday, 2 August 2023 at 23:59 EDT
