CEDAR email: AGU Session P030: Planetary rings, meteoroid and dust populations and effects

[Nicolas Lee]

Dear Colleagues

I’d like to bring your attention to a meteoroid-focused session at the 2020 AGU Fall Meeting (Mostly virtual, 7-11 December).  Abstracts can be submitted here: https://www.agu.org/Fall-Meeting/2020/Present/Abstracts <https://www.agu.org/Fall-Meeting/2020/Present/Abstracts>
The submission deadline is July 29.  Please contact me or one of the other conveners if you have any questions.

Best,
Nicolas Lee

P030: Planetary rings, meteoroid and dust populations and effects
 
Session Description:
New theoretical and observational studies of planetary rings, meteoroids, and dust. These collections of small particles are sensitive to a wide variety of dynamical phenomena, and so can provide information about the sources, sinks and transport of material. Rings can also encode detailed information about their dynamical environments such as their host planet's gravitational field, while meteoroids and dust interact with larger bodies through surface impacts and atmospheric ablation and therefore contribute to surface weathering on airless bodies and metal deposition in planetary atmospheres. Subjects to be covered include: the structure, dynamics and composition of rings; characterization of dust populations along with their effects on asteroids and spacecraft; interstellar dust; hypervelocity impacts of dust and meteoroids; the interaction of planetary rings with ionospheres, magnetospheres, and interplanetary dust; and the origin and evolution of the rings. Recent observations of the near-Sun dust environment from the Parker Solar Probe will be highlighted.
