Revision as of 17:38, 8 November 2013

This Monday (Nov. 11) we'll be having a bigger and greater exoplanet meeting than usual, to which you are all invited. The theme is Exoplanets after Kepler; which means observational results from the Kepler space telescope, or observational and theoretical results on the kinds of planets Kepler has found.


Time: 11:00-4:10pm, Nov. 11.

Place: Hinds Geophysical Laboratory Room 176 (Goldsmith room) --

5734 S. Ellis Ave., Chicago, IL

Parking - Ellis Avenue Parking Structure is recommended.

Please carpool! (if you're coming from Northwestern)


RSVP to fabrycky@uchicago.edu, and I'll tell you who's coming so you can arrange car-pooling.


The content will be 10 minute talks with 10 minutes of questions/discussions. Each person will be capped at 20 minutes, then we'll move on. Once I have a complete list of speakers, I'll post it here.
