ExoPlanet Science and Technology Fair Poster Science & Technology Fair Papers

The first EXOPLANET Science & Technology FAIR was held at JPL on January 23, 2008. Exoplanet science is a fast-growing area of astrophysics, attracting many young scientists and engineers, many of whom work at JPL and in greater Pasadena. The purpose of the Fair was to showcase exoplanet activities at JPL and Pasadena, for attendees to see what your colleagues are doing, and for them to see your work.

The Fair featured talks and posters on all aspects of current and future Exoplanet science, observing, instrumentation, and missions, including connections with Earth science, Planetary science, and Disk science. At this one-day event, there were 44 short presentations. Each presenter also displayed a poster. You can find PDF versions of the posters and presentations in the table below.
