Call for HWO AAS Splinter Session Pops Presentations: New Extended Deadline to December 6th 2024!

25 November 2024

The HWO AAS Splinter session will have a dedicated "pop" session where participants can provide a brief (~1 minute) single-slide presentation of their work relevant to the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO). The Splinter session is scheduled on January 16, 2025, from 9 AM to 12:45 PM ET and the pop session itself will tentatively be 10:45 – 11:15 AM ET. While the session will be presented in a hybrid fashion, due to logistical limitations, pop presenters must already be attending AAS in person.

Due to the limited number of pop slots, we will prioritize early career individuals (undergraduate, post-bac, graduate, postdoc, and those within 10 years of earning their PhD) who have not previously attended an HWO meeting in person. We will also strive to ensure diverse representation from different topics: for example, but not limited to, origins and evolution of galaxies (including dark sector, AGN, ionizing photons, IGM & ICM), star formation, stars and stellar population, cosmic explosions, and exoplanets.

Please fill out this form to apply for the pop presentation by 8pm ET (5pm PT) on December 6, 2024. Please circulate this announcement with your local institution and communities. If you have any questions, please contact Raissa Estrela (restrela@jpl.nasa.gov) and Rob Zellem (robert.t.zellem@nasa.gov).

An illustration of Sun-like star HD 181327 and its surrounding debris disk. The star is at top right. It is surrounded by a far larger debris disk that forms an incomplete ellpitical path and is cut off at right. There’s a huge cavity between the star and the disk. The debris disk is shown in shades of light gray. Toward the top and left, there are finer, more discrete points in a range of sizes. The disk appears hazier and smokier at the bottom. The star is bright white at center, with a hazy blue region around it. The background of space is black. The label Artist's Concept appears at lower left.
