EDM I : Exoplanet Dynamics & Modeling

March 11 - 14 | 10am-5pm-ish | Pasadena, CA

An informal meeting designed to bring together researchers working on exoplanet formation/evolution, and facilitate candid discussion in a relaxed and casual setting. This meeting has no registration fee.

The science program will be broken up into four parts:

  1. Disks and Planet Formation

  2. TTVs and Demographics

  3. Links Between Interior Structure and Orbital Evolution

  4. Planet-Star Interactions and Stellar Obliquities
