4) Galilean Moons Workshop | Oct 24-26, 2023 | Aix-en-Provence
The Workshop on the Origins and Habitability of the Galilean Moons aims to establish the link between our knowledge of the present natures of Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, and their formation conditions. The goal is to prepare for the arrival of the ESA/JUICE and NASA/Europa-Clipper missions in the Jovian system. This workshop, held in Aix-En-Provence, France, is the first of a series to be held at 2-3 year intervals before the arrivals of the two missions around Jupiter. The workshops’ locations will alternate between Europe and the US to ensure broad international participation.
The Workshop on the Origins and Habitability of the Galilean Moons will be held at the Maison méditerranéenne des sciences de l’homme in Aix-en-Provence. This workshop is hosted by the Institut Origines of Aix-Marseille Université, the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. In-person attendance at the workshop will be limited to 120 people. Priority will be given to submitted talks and/or posters. Limited virtual participation may be available. The three-day in-person workshop will be co-chaired by Olivier Mousis, Kathy Mandt and Morgan Cable. Further information can be found here:
https://galileanmoons.com
This first workshop will extend discussions to all the giant planets systems, and strategize paths forward for future missions to the ice giants and Saturn systems. Appropriate workshop topics include science, technologies, and mission concepts relevant to future explorations of giant planets moons and rings. In particular, the link between the composition of the moons and the formation conditions of the giant planets systems, as well as their potential habitability, as evidenced by measurement techniques, instrumentation, theoretical modeling, laboratory and field experiments, and future mission concepts in the framework of international collaborations, are of high interest.

6) Atelier “La matière organique dans tous ses états” | 22 au 24 novembre 2023 | Fréjus
Le Groupement de recherche PILSE (https://gdr-pilse.cnrs.fr/) a été mis en place entre l’INSU et l’INC, pour renforcer au niveau national la communauté INSU dans sa capacité à analyser la matière organique et son interaction avec les matrices minérales au sein d’échantillons extraterrestres ou de leurs analogues.
Dans ce contexte, le GdR organise du 22 au 24 novembre 2023, au centre CNRS de Fréjus, un atelier qui permettra la rencontre entre des chercheurs de l’INC et de l’INSU dans le cadre du développement de méthodes d’extraction de la matière organique et de méthodologies analytiques pour l’analyse de celle-ci. Les approches entre ces différentes communautés pouvant être complémentaires, notre objectif est de créer des temps d’échanges pour faire émerger de nouvelles approches et potentiellement des nouvelles collaborations autour de ces thématiques.
Le programme de ces journées sera partagé entre des présentations de chercheurs invités présentant leur expertise scientifique et technique sur une méthodologie ou instrumentation donnée. Les présentations seront suivies d’ateliers facilitant les échanges. Chaque technique ou méthodologie sera présentée par un ou une chercheur(se) de l’INC, et son application à l’analyse d'objets extraterrestres sera présentée par un chercheur(se) de l’INSU. Cette comparaison des approches de chaque communauté devrait permettre d’identifier les développements manquants et les améliorations possibles en termes d’analyse de la matière organique.
Les frais d’hébergement et de repas seront pris en charge par le GdR PILSE, seuls les frais de déplacement seront à la charge des participants. Le nombre de participants sera limité à 50. La limite pour les préinscriptions est fixée au 2 octobre 2023 par envoi d’un message à Cette adresse e-mail est protégée contre les robots spammeurs. Vous devez activer le JavaScript pour la visualiser.. Les inscriptions seront validées par information aux participants au cours de la semaine du 9 octobre 2023.

Dear Venus Science community,
On behalf of Professor Lorenzo Bruzzone, please be informed about the following postdoc opportunity related to the sub surface radar on Envision (SRS), at the Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science, University of Trento:
https://rslab.disi.unitn.it/call-for-postdoc-researchers-rslab/
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%11) PhD Position: Simulation of Martian Ground Ice | GEOPS, Université Paris-Saclay
The project aims to significantly advance our understanding of very shallow ground ice on Mars, which has been found to be much more widespread than once thought. This is the most accessible ice to future human exploration, and is important as a potential astrobiology target.
We propose a program based on the simulation of the formation and evolution of ground ice to understand its origin. Previous work could not predict the presence of ice near surface at mid and low latitude. The proposed task consists of creating an unprecedented simulation tool, including the main processes governing surface ice microphysics. Several pieces are already present in the literature, but the novelty and extremely promising nature of the present approach is to encompass them all since they all contribute to the evolution of ices with potentially similar time/length scales. This model will be designed to be coupled with Global Climate Model (GCM). The second aspect of the project will be focused on quantitative geomorphology. By proposing new proxies, we propose to reassess the mapping of ice on Mars. The final step of the project will be a comparison between simulations and geomorphological mapping to decipher the ice mobility on the Red Planet.
We seek a highly motivated candidate with an MSc degree in at least one of those fields: planetary science / climate science / physics / geosciences / remote sensing / astronomy / numerical simulations with excellent programming skills. The PhD will be evolving in an international and multidisciplinary environment.
The project is fully funded for 3 years. Candidates are encouraged to apply by the end of April 2023, but later applications will be reviewed until the position is filled. The start date of the thesis is expected in October 2023 but can be flexible.
Candidates should provide a CV, transcript of records and a cover letter.

12) Thèse, HDR, séminaires
a) Collapse and Ejection in the N-body problem and the Formation of Rubble Pile Asteroids | Prof. Dan Scheeres (Univ. Colorado) | Monday 27 Mar 2023, 14:00 CEST
Un lien zoom est proposé pour une participation à distance : https://cnrs.zoom.us/j/93384548454?pwd=ZEFJTU1Hd3h2SjJhL01SUXVFdGg5dz09
ID de réunion : 933 8454 8454
Code secret : Zpq9kh
Rubble pile asteroids are thought to form in the aftermath of cataclysmic collisions between proto-planets. The details of how the detritus from such collisions reaccumulate to form these bodies are not well understood, yet can play a fundamental role in the subsequent evolution of these bodies in the solar system. Simple items such as how particle sizes and porosity is distributed within a body can have a significant influence on how they subsequently evolve. Current space missions are just starting to gain limited insight into these fundamental questions, but require a better theoretical understanding to fully explain their observations.
To that end, this work studies how the initial energy and angular momentum of a random collection of gravitating bodies is partitioned and redistributed between escaping components and bound multiple body systems. A generic initial distribution of N bodies will naturally lose many components due to multi-body dynamical interactions. If the bodies have finite density, some components will also form condensed distributions. We find and apply rigorous results from the Full N-body problem to place limits and constraints on how the energy and angular momentum of such systems can evolve, which may control the formation of stable rubble pile asteroids.
We are able to establish some of our constraints analytically, providing unique insight into this process. Ultimately, however, we require numerical simulations to elucidate certain aspects of the ejection process. As will be shown, these gravitational ejections will always reduce the system energy yet can cause significant fluctuations in the total angular momentum of the remaining bodies. Some possible implications of these trends will be discussed.
b) AstroGeo Seminar | Didier Paillard (LSCE, France) | Climate and astronomy: from historical theories to future perspectives | Thursday March 30 at 15:00
The next AstroGeo Seminar will be on Thursday March 30 at 15:00 (Paris time). We will have the pleasure to host Didier Paillard (LSCE, France) with a talk on the paleoclimate models.
Title : Climate and astronomy: from historical theories to future perspectives
The zoom link for the March AstroGeo seminar is https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86291917004
Since the invention of calendars by the first astronomers during the antiquity, it is quite natural to link climate and celestial mechanics. The discovery of ice ages in the 19th century sparked the emergence of the concept of climate change and of the first corresponding theories, either astronomical or based on atmospheric CO2 variations. In the early 20th century, Milutin Milankovitch established a solid foundational theoretical background to explain the role of astronomy on glaciations, but even today many pieces of the puzzle of ice ages are still missing. A key difficulty lies in the mechanisms involved in the dynamics of the carbon cycle on long time scales. Besides, the role of astronomy on climate is obviously not restricted to the question of ice-sheet changes and it is well known that the hydrological cycle in many semi-arid and monsoon areas is strongly linked to precession, independently of glaciations. On longer time scales, there is a strong imprint of the 400-ky and 2.4 Myr eccentricity cycles onto carbon isotopic records all over the Cenozoïc but probably also over much older time periods. This suggests a more direct and persistent link between astronomy and the Earth’s carbon cycle. During this talk, I will present a rapid historical overview of the astronomical theories of climate and discuss some key difficulties. In particular, I will insist on
the role of multiple equilibria in the climate system as a useful ingredient for current and future theories.
