Session PS-11: Exploring the Solar System Primitive Bodies
August 6-11, Singapore

http://www.asiaoceania.org/aogs2017/public.asp?page=home.htm

This session welcomes abstracts about the studies of solar system small bodies, using data from exploration missions, ground- and space-based observatories, laboratory facilities, and theoretical studies. It also welcomes abstracts about new concepts for future missions, observing and laboratory facilities, and ideas for future studies. Abstracts reporting the recent results from Dawn, New Horizons, and Rosetta missions are especially welcome. Solar system small bodies are considered the best-preserved fossils from the early era of planetary systems formation. Small bodies could also have played an important role in delivering water and organics to the inner solar system, relevant to the origin of habitable worlds and life. With the context of a big wave of recent small body missions, this session is designed to promote the research of solar system primitive bodies from multiple approaches and multiple disciplines, and to help develop concepts for future studies and exploration missions.

Conveners:

Dr. Jian-Yang Li (PSI, USA)
Dr. Makoto Yoshikawa (JAXA, Japan)
