Gemini Splinter Sessions at AAS 243

The International Gemini Observatory and the US National Gemini Office will be hosting two splinter sessions at AAS 243 on Wednesday 10 January. The first session, Introduction to Gemini Observatory in the 2020s: How to Propose for Time and Complete your Program, will have a program focused on providing resources for Gemini users — especially new or prospective Gemini users — regarding Gemini’s capabilities, proposal process, observing queue system, data-reduction software, and/or user-support system. The second session, The Present and Future of Exoplanet Science with the Gemini Observatory, will highlight specific areas of exoplanet science where the Gemini telescopes and instrumentation have made significant contributions, such as exoplanet detection and characterization. The splinter session program includes four invited talks and a final presentation of future opportunities and instrumentation for exoplanet science at Gemini Observatory.
