IAU Symposium 299: Exploring the formation and evolution of planetary systems
Location: Victoria, BC, Canada
This symposium will bring together experts on the growth of planetary systems in protoplanetary discs through their early evolution to the final systems we observe around main-sequence stars today.
Our goal is to enhance the interaction between those who study the formation of planets and those who study evolved exoplanets—two communities who do not typically interact strongly due to differences in instrumentation. Bringing these two communities together will allow us to ask provocative new questions, stimulate new avenues of research, and encourage the formation of new collaborations.
The timing of this meeting is chosen to highlight early high-resolution imaging of planetary systems in formation by the interferometers ALMA, EVLA, LBTI and PRIMA, and direct imaging of exoplanets by a new generation of instruments: GPI (Gemini), SPHERE (VLT), HiCIAO/SCExAO (Subaru), FLAO/LUCIFER (LBT). We encourage inclusion of results from current and future facilities. We also encourage theoretical efforts to understand these results and inspire further observations.
The IAUS 299 is being organized by the National Research Council of Canada Herzberg Institute of Astrophysics and the Dunlap Institute for Astronomy & Astrophysics, University of Toronto. The organizers would like to acknowledge the sponsorship of the International Astronomical Union, the University of Victoria and the Gemini Observatory.

Exoplanets in Multi-body Systems in the Kepler Era
Location: Aspen, CO
For centuries, theories of planet formation were guided exclusively by our solar system. However, the discovery of planets orbiting other stars (exoplanets) in the past two decades has demonstrated that nature often produces planetary systems quite different from our own, neither anticipated by nor well explained by the current theories of solar system formation and dynamics. The diversity of planetary system architectures (the masses and orbital arrangements of planets) has confronted astronomers with many new challenges and reinvigorated the fields of planet formation and orbital dynamics. Among these challenges are planetary systems with multiple planets in close-in orbits, highly eccentric orbits, and planets in binary star systems. In this one week program, scientists from the fields of planetary science, celestial mechanics, astronomy, astrophysics and astrobiology will meet to discuss new developments in the field of extrasolar multi-planet systems. The goal of our workshop is to provide an environment where these scientists can present new ideas, discuss their implications for identifying the most important problems in the field and chart the field’s future direction.

Given the timing we also expect a major emphasis on new results from transit surveys, especially CoRoT and Kepler.

Joint ExoPAG and COPAG Meeting
Location: Baltimore, MD
March 16, 2011
Dear ExoPAG Members,
The ExoPAG and the COPAG (Cosmic Origins Program Analysis Group) will hold a one day joint working group meeting on Tuesday, April 26 at the Space Telescope Institute in Baltimore to discuss future large UV/Optical/NIR telescope needs and technology drivers. Ken Sembach at STScI is our host sembach@stsci.edu. COPAG Chair Chris Martin and I would like to start those discussions in broad terms at this first meeting and outline a path forward for future coordination between the two PAGs. We'll plan for one full day of meeting, starting early, say 8:30 AM. We will end by 4 PM or perhaps a bit earlier to allow people to travel that evening. We will have telecon capability for those who cannot attend in person.
Space is limited to about 25 people total (from both PAGs), so this meeting cannot be open to the entire community. We can bring several people, though, in addition to the ExoPAG Steering Committee members (all of whom are invited). Please let me know if you would like to attend and we will try to accommodate you. Be sure to provide your contact info and your specific area of interest in the joint meeting.
We will send around some additional details to both the ExoPAG and COPAG by next week.
Cheers,
Jim Kasting
