Dynamics of Exoplanet Systems, #DPSEPSC guest post by @erikanesvold for @exploreplanets www.planetary.org/blogs/guest-blogs/2016/1...
ICYMI: I wrote up the #DPSEPSC sessions on @NASANewHorizons at Pluto: www.planetary.org/blogs/emily-lakdawalla/2...
#DPSEPSC update on @NASANewHorizons at the Pluto system and beyond www.planetary.org/blogs/emily-lakdawalla/2...
I haven't had time to write anything much from #DPSEPSC yet, but @alexwitze has. On Pluto: www.nature.com/news/icy-heart-could-be-...
(Relative emptiness of #DPSEPSC Mars session likely due to relative abundance of astronomers&physicists vs geologists at this meeting.)
I just switched to the Mars session at #DPSEPSC and holy wow is this huge ballroom empty...
Hanley: Higher pressures aren't applicable at Titan surface, but at depth Titan lakes could be stratified. #DPSEPSC
Jennifer Hanley: Experiments on chilling methane, ethane, and nitrogen produce wacky separation of liquids at higher pressures #DPSEPSC
Talks on experiments are always fun because experiments have a way of producing results that are more confusing than enlightening #DPSEPSC
Morgan Cable: "co-crystals" of ethane&benzene or acetylene&ammonia, Titan's version of hydrated minerals, may be common evaporites #DPSEPSC
For love of all that's holy leave your conclusions slide up as you take questions, not an acknowledgments slide #DPSEPSC
Good morning from the final day of #DPSEPSC! For me today is a little bit of "Titan: Hydrocarbon heaven," followed by Mars habitability.
Now Ashwin Vasavada gives a talk on Curiosity. Begins by thanking Odyssey and Mars Recon Orbiter for transmitting all their data. #DPSEPSC
The Urey prize lecture (early career prize) is almost always best prize lecture at #DPSEPSC, and this year's was no different.
(This is an inside joke, referring to the intense rate at which words come forth from Venus researcher Kevin Baines' mouth) #DPSEPSC
.@LeighFletcher now giving his Urey prize talk on giant planet atmospheres. Warns he'll be speaking fast, at "0.9 Baines" #DPSEPSC
Coustenis: Cassini's 120+ flybys fof Titan will feed 3 generations of astronomers. [Me: only if data analysis programs well funded] #DPSEPSC
Katherine de Kleer: Watching Io frequently over a long period of time reveals really cool patterns in volcanic activity. #DPSEPSC
Vishnu Reddy: From IR telescope, evidence for hydroxyl (OH) on metal asteroid Psyche. From carbonaceous impactor? or solar wind? #DPSEPSC
Conference exhaustion is beginning to hit. Rallying myself for final #DPSEPSC press briefing: Psyche, Io, and Cassini at Saturn & Titan.
Ralph Lorenz is processing Cassini RADAR to map bathymetry of bottoms of Titan's northern lakes. Bathymetry on a Saturn moon, y'all #DPSEPSC
Essam Marouf: Showing results of amazing Cassini experiments, bouncing radar off of Titan lakes, "hearing" echo on Earth. #DPSEPSC
Fourth day of #DPSEPSC, and I'm now sitting in Titan session, learning about plans for Cassini's last RADAR pass planned for 22 Apr 2017 :(
"Whatever the really good reason is, it will almost certainly result in someone dying" -@PlanetDr #betterwithoutcontext #DPSEPSC
.@grierja your quilled-paper Moon is LUNATICIOUSLY AMAZING #DPSEPSC
The more Scott Bolton talks about Juno, the more it sounds like they may run a 53-day-orbit mission for some time. #DPSEPSC
[All of the women at #DPSEPSC now breathing a sigh of relief that there were no asinine questions for Knezek after her talk.]
Patricia Knezek is giving a data-rich talk on unconscious bias to full room at #DPSEPSC and @PlanetDr is doing a bang-up job live tweeting
Sorry I couldn't be there to see Yong-Chun Zheng acknowledged with Sagan award -- I was pleased to be one of his nominators! #DPSEPSC
Now getting ready for 2nd #DPSEPSC press briefing of the day, on Juno. David Schurr for NASA, Scott Bolton as P.I., Candy Hansen of JunoCam
