The winter meeting of the American Astronomical Society (AAS) will kick off on Sunday. The 219th meeting will take place in Austin, Texas from January 8-12. There will be four full days of talks and posters on every topic in astronomy. We’ve written about previous AAS Meetings, including Boston (AAS #218) and Seattle (AAS #217).
This year at AAS, we’ll be doing something different: liveblogging the conference. The Astrobites authors attending the conference will be keeping you up to date on some of the talks and posters through tweets, short posts and longer pieces. With support from the wonderful folks at AAS, especially Debra Elmegreen and Rick Fienberg, we’ll be attending the press meetings so we can keep you up to date on the exciting discoveries being presented at AAS. So from Monday through Thursday, follow us on twitter and keep checking back here at astrobites.com for updates.
If you’ll be at AAS this year, we’d love it if you’d stop by the Astrobites poster! We will present the results of the latest Astrobites Readership Survey and data collected on visits to the site.
