Occultation Science Pathways
Session Type

Room

Summary
In recent years the number and quality of occultation campaigns has risen dramatically due largely to the quality of the results from the Gaia mission. This workshop is meant for anyone actively engaged in occultation-based research as well as those interested in becoming involved. The goal of the workshop is to provide a forum to discuss the challenges and responsibilities of conducting investigations that often rely on a large involvement from the broad community. Also on the agenda is a discussion of future projects, both short and long-term, especially those that would benefit from a larger more coordinated involvement. This workshop is not intended as a forum for the presentation of scientific results which is more appropriate for the sessions of the main meeting. Anyone wishing to make a short presentation on a topic should send a brief note to Marc Buie (buie@boulder.swri.edu) with a title, a very short description, and a suggestion on the amount of time needed to be used in building the program.
