_____________________________________________
ESLAB-52 Symposium
Comparative aeronomy and plasma environment of terrestrial planets
14-18 May 2018, ESTEC/ ESA, Noordwijk, the Netherlands.
Processes in the upper atmospheres, ionospheres and magnetospheres of terrestrial
planets and their interactions with the solar wind are of great importance for our understanding
of atmospheric losses to space and evolution of climates. Spacecraft observations
at Mars, Venus, Earth and Titan, as well as Moon, Mercury and other atmosphere-less bodies
provided a wealth of data that allow characterization of the processes in all their diversity
and in a comparative manner. The wide range of boundary conditions found in the Solar System
provides tremendous input into understanding evolution of the atmospheres of exoplanets
as driven by aeronomy processes.
The symposium will address the processes in the upper atmospheres and plasma envelopes
of all terrestrial planets, including escape and atmospheric evolution.
The experimental results from MAVEN, Mars Express, Venus Express, Pioneer-Venus, Cluster, Swarm, Messenger
and other space missions will form the basis of the symposium programme.
They will be complemented by results from theoretical investigations and numerical modelling.
The symposium will be organized with 5 days of sessions that will include invited summary talks,
oral presentations, poster sessions and discussions.
6) Virginia Initiative on Cosmic Origins (VICO): Postdoc positions
We are pleased to announce the new Virginia Initiative on Cosmic Origins (VICO) that, with Eric Herbst and others, we are helping to set up at the University of Virginia. Please see

PS16 : Cassini’s Grand Finale Science Highlights and Discoveries
Session Description The Cassini-Huygens Mission to Saturn ended in a dramatic plunge into Saturn’s atmosphere on September 15, 2017 sending back in-situ data as long as possible. The final year of the mission included 20 Ring-Grazing orbits just outside the rings and a series of 22 highly inclined “Grand Finale” orbits with closest approach between the innermost D ring and Saturn’s upper atmosphere. The final 22 orbits enabled the opportunity for unique science observations including: probing of gravitational and magnetic field moments to higher order and precision; determining the ring mass; in-situ sampling of the plasma environment, upper atmosphere and exosphere; and imaging both Saturn and rings at high resolution. Already data obtained on these orbits have led to surprising initial results. We propose a multi-disciplinary session to report on analysis and modeling of data collected during this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore Saturn up close and personal.

4) The 2nd Rencontres du Vietnam on Exoplanetary Science, February 25 - March 2, 2018, Quy Nhon (Vietnam)
http://rencontresduvietnam.org/conferences/2018/exoplanetary_science
Exoplanetology has experienced extraordinary developments, and is now a mature and particularly dynamic research field of astrophysics. The various detection techniques such as radial velocities, transit, microlensing, direct imaging, timing or astrometry, provided thousands of planet detections. The characterization of these systems has also improved, and now reaches the details of the orbital parameters or the physics and chemistry of planetary atmospheres.
The 2nd Rencontres du Vietnam on Exoplanetary Science will offer over five days a fruitful meeting of observers involved in various ground- and space-based programs with modelers and theoreticians. The conference will raise news observations and new models to improve our comprehension and knowledges of exoplanets, their formation, their evolution. It will expand exchanges, interactions, and collaborations between scientists from different parts of the world.
The conference will consist of plenary sessions for oral presentations, including review talks and contributions on more specialized topics, as well as posters. The conference will be preceded by a two-day international school (Feb. 24-25) for students involved in those topics, with instructors and teachers chosen among the conference participants.

10) conference "The Cosmic Cycle of Dust and Gas in the Galaxy: from Old to Young Stars » Quy Nhon (Vietnam), July 9th to 13th, 2018
https://cosmiccycle2018.sciencesconf.org/
Organized in the framework of "Rencontres du Vietnam", a conference on the evolution of gas and dust from evolved to young stars will bring astronomers working on the circumstellar environment of evolved stars and star (and planet) forming regions together with planetologists working on the origin of the solar system. In July 2016, in the same cycle of conferences, “Blowing In the Wind” had addressed issues related to the relevant dynamics. In July 2017, another conference of the same cycle, “Star Formation in Different Environments” focused on how stars form. The July 2018 conference will be dedicated to the physico-chemistry and evolution of gas and dust. It will review state-of-the-art knowledge of the molecular and dust components of envelopes and shells surrounding Supernovae, AGB stars and planetary nebulae as well as diffuse, cold and giant molecular clouds. Special sessions will be dedicated to the origin and evolution of matter in the solar system: meteorites, Rosetta, etc. Recent observations, in particular using ALMA, are the source of major progress in the study of the cosmic cycle of the Galaxy, making such a conference very timely.
An updated list of confirmed invited speakers can be found at: https://cosmiccycle2018.sciencesconf.org/resource/page/id/6
Researchers are invited to submit contributed talks and posters.

16) InSight/SEIS Participating Scientist : AO de sélection PS France
Cet Appel à Propositions vise à sélectionner au maximum cinq scientifiques « Participating Scientists » (PS) qui participeront à l’analyse des données de la mission InSight (INnterior exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport) et plus particulièrement aux données de l’expérience SEIS (Seismic Experiment for Interior Structure).
Sélectionnée par la NASA dans le cadre du programme Discovery, la mission InSight sera lancée durant les premières semaines de mai 2018 et se posera sur Mars le 26 novembre 2018. L’objectif scientifique de cette mission est l’étude de la structure interne et de l’évolution thermique de la planète, et la mission déploiera pour cela le premier observatoire géophysique martien, constitué :
• d’un sismomètre triaxial très large bande et d’un sismomètre triaxial courte période (expérience SEIS sous responsabilité scientifique de l’IPGP et maitrise d’œuvre du CNES)
• d’une suite de capteurs environnementaux (APSS - Auxiliary Payload Sensor Suite), constitués d’un capteur de pression/infrasons, d’un magnétomètre triaxial et de capteurs de vent ;
• d’un capteur de flux de chaleur (HP3 - Heat Flow and Physical Properties Probe) ;
• d’un système de positionnement géodésique (RISE - Rotation and Interior Structure Experiment) ;
• d’un bras robotique et de caméras, conçus pour déployer les instruments SEIS et HP3, mais permettant éventuellement, après déploiement, de réaliser des expériences visant à mieux connaître et contraindre les propriétés du sol martien et du site d’atterrissage.
Une description détaillée de la mission et des instruments est donnée dans le Proposal Information Package, disponible sur
https://nspires.nasaprs.com/external/solicitations/summary!init.do?solId=%7b5E7C7C5C-4CA5-F1E6-A32B-BE7ABE54A32C%7d&path=open
L’objectif principal de cet appel à propositions est de renforcer l’équipe scientifique de l’expérience SEIS pour les domaines d’expertise sismologique large bande et courtes périodes et dans les domaines d’expertise :
• associés à l’expérience APSS, dont la gestion des données sera assurée par le SISMOC (SEIS opération Center), basé au Centre spatial de Toulouse (CST).
• nécessaires à l’interprétation des résultats de SEIS en terme d’évolution, de formation, de minéralogie ou de tectonique de Mars.
Les propositions orientées dans les domaines suivant seront donc analysées avec une attention particulière :
• Analyses des données sismiques large bande (0,02 Hz-10 Hz) et courte période (0,1 Hz-50 Hz), y compris analyse et détection d’ondes de volumes et ondes de surface régionales/locales et localisation d’évènement (sismique ou impact) avec une seule station sismique ;
• Modélisation et inversion sismiques large bande (0,02 Hz-10 Hz) dans des milieux 3D représentatifs du manteau, de la croûte et de l’atmosphère de Mars ;
• Analyse et inversion de données météorologiques martiennes, y compris celles associées aux phénomènes rapides (0,01 Hz-10 Hz) dans la couche limite planétaire (composantes de pression et de vent d’APSS) ;
• Analyse et inversion de données magnétométriques (composante IFG d’APSS), en particulier en complément des études de structure interne de Mars permises par les données SEIS ;
• Minéralogie et évolution du manteau et du noyau de Mars, y compris par des approches expérimentales Haute Pression en laboratoire ;
• Structure et propriété de la sous-surface en relation directe avec l’expérience SEIS ;
• Sismo-tectonique martienne et/ou géologie martienne en relation avec l’activité sismique contemporaine.
Les PS sélectionnés seront intégrés à l’Equipe Scientifique de la mission InSight, avec les mêmes droits et obligations que les autres co-investigateurs, et bénéficieront ainsi d’un accès privilégié aux données avant leur diffusion publique. Les droits d’utilisation des données sont détaillés dans les « Rules of the Road » d’InSight (voir ci-dessous).
Les financements qui seront demandés au CNES dans le cadre de cet appel à propositions ne couvriront que les financements des missions, études et équipements spécifiques nécessaires au projet, sans dépasser 50 k€ pour la totalité de la période de 3 ans de mi-2018 à mi-2021. L’implication des organismes porteurs seront des éléments importants dans l’analyse des projets, en particulier sous la forme d’éventuelles thèses ou post-doc financés par ces derniers ou leurs Ecoles doctorales associées.
Les porteurs et collaborateurs clés associés aux projets devront être soit permanents soit financés par leur organisme sur la période mi-2018 à mi-2021. Le taux d’implication des chercheurs proposant et associés aux propositions devra être quantifié et confirmé par les directeurs d’organisme (en signant le formulaire financier Excel) et sera un élément important dans l‘évaluation des projets.
L’analyse et la sélection des propositions sera faite par le Groupe Thématique Système Solaire du CNES et associera l’Investigateur Principal de la mission InSight et l’Investigateur Principal de l’expérience SEIS.
En raison de cet appel à propositions particulier pour la communauté française, la NASA n’analysera pas les propositions françaises en réponse l’AO (Announcement of Opportunity) NASA NNH17ZDA001N-INSTPSP et ces dernières devront donc être soumises exclusivement dans le cadre de cet appel à propositions CNES.

BRIEF HISTORY:
The Cosmic Dust meeting started in 2006 as a session called “Cosmic Dust” of the 3rd AOGS (Asia-Oceania Geoscience Society) annual meeting in Singapore. Dust freaks have kept on organizing the session at subsequent AOGS meetings in Korea (2008), India (2010), and Taiwan (2011). The Cosmic Dust series has been recognized as the most successful session of the AOGS Planetary Sciences Section. In 2012, the time was ripe to be free from organizing restrictions on the AOGS meeting. From that time on, the Cosmic Dust meeting is totally independent of any international conference. The past meetings on Cosmic Dust have been held in a relaxed and joyful atmosphere. So will be the coming one

6) Heraeus-Seminar on: Prebiotic Molecules in Space and Origins of Life on Earth, Bad Honnef March 19-23, 2018.
This is a reminder about the
664 Wilhelm und Else Heraeus-Seminar on: Prebiotic Molecules in Space and Origins of Life on Earth
which will be held at the Physikzentrum Bad Honnef (http://www.dpg-physik.de/dpg/pbh/index.html) on March 19-23, 2018.
There are still places available and we encourage you and your students to register and attend this interdisciplinary meeting on Origins of Life, where talks will be intermixed with discussion and interaction among the various research fields. Some funds are available to cover travel and accommodation for students and young researchers upon request.
Motivation
How life originates is one of the outstanding questions of humankind. Different scientific communities, from astrophysicists to planetary scientists, from geochemists to biophysicists, all share the common aim of understanding how life on Earth originated and if life exists elsewhere in the Universe. Despite these common goals, it has been difficult to join forces and focus on the ‘big picture’, as different background and terminology often hinder fruitful interdisciplinary collaborations. In this conference, we plan to bring together astrochemists working on the production of prebiotic molecules in space and their delivery to planet forming regions, Solar System scientists working on the chemical composition of the most pristine material such as comets and primitive meteorites, the exoplanetary atmosphere community, geochemists working on the primitive Earth and its conditions to host life, biophysicists working on the very first steps that assembled prebiotic molecules into the macromolecules used by terrestrial life. We believe that fostering communication and interaction among the various groups is a pre-requisite to succeed in our quest on the origins of life.
Please visit our web page at: https://events.mpe.mpg.de/origins2018 and register (the number of participants is limited to 100).
Looking forward to seeing you at Bad Honnef in March 2018.
Best wishes,
Paola Caselli
