The Chesapeake Bay Area Exoplanet Meeting brings together all lovers of exoplanets and related science from the DC area and beyond. This series of one-day meetings enable the sharing of ideas in an informal setting with the focus being on building collaborations and expertise.
Agenda
Agenda
The second meeting will be hosted by Carnegie DTM. In keeping with the spirit of the Bay Area Exoplanet and the National Capitol Area Disk meetings, there will be plenty of time for discussion and building collaborations. We are soliciting contributed talks, with a special focus on talks from students, post-docs, and visitors. Since we plan have these meetings several times a year, we hope that everyone that is interested will be able talk about their current research.
Each meeting features an invited speaker. This meeting's speaker is Karl Stapelfeldt who is Chief Scientist of NASA's Exoplanet Exploration Program, and based at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

This meeting relies on people giving talk. We especially encourage visitors, new arrivals, students, and postdocs to give talks. Please also invite others who may be interested in attending, including people from outside the Bay Area. Please do not hesitate to request a talk even if you think that your presentation will be very short; we have found that even the most simple talks usually need 20 minutes to allow for adequate discussion. The deadline for the next meeting has now closed.
