A workshop to explore the link between our physical understanding of protoplanetary disks and the evidence from extraterrestrial materials. When: Saturday-Sunday, July 24-25, 2010, 8:30am - 6:00pm Where: The American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), Borough of Manhattan, City of New York Sponsors: The American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), the Arthur Ross Foundation, Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI). Scientific organizing committee: M. Kuchner , M-M. Mac Low , and E.D. Young .
Rationale: Extraterrestrial materials provide a growing array of constraints on the history of the solar system in all stages of its formation. Observations and models of our own and other protoplanetary disks provide a growing body of complementary evidence. This workshop will bring together an interdisciplinary and global group of (1) observers of extrasolar disks and planets, (2) experts in the physical modeling of disks in time and space, and (3) specialists in the physical, chemical and isotopic properties of meteorites, comet samples, and planetary materials.
This workshop directly preceeds the
73rd Annual Meeting of the Meteoritical Society, July 26-30,
and a July 31 symposium on chondrules, both at the Park Central Hotel in Manhattan. |
