All proposals are due by September 15, 2022 at 4 pm Pacific. Proposals are sought to support science goals and missions in the following discipline areas: - Our Own Solar System - Exoplanet Exploration - Physics of the Cosmos - Cosmic Origins Mission Support Proposals in any of these areas are also encouraged Please read the Call for Proposals for complete information, semester highlights, instrument availability, and application guidelines: https://nexsci.caltech.edu/missions/KeckSolicitation/gen-info.shtml The opportunity to propose as a Principal Investigator for NASA time on the Keck Telescopes is open to all U.S.-based astronomers (i.e. who have their principal affiliation at a U.S. institution). Investigators from institutions outside of the U.S. may participate as Co-Investigators. Advance Notice of Joint JWST/Keck Programs: The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Cycle 2 Call for Proposals will include the opportunity to propose for joint programs requiring JWST and NASA Keck observations. This does not affect this 2023A NASA Keck Call for Proposals. Go here for more information: https://nexsci.caltech.edu/missions/KeckSolicitation/jwst-keck.shtml Call for Proposals: https://nexsci.caltech.edu/missions/KeckSolicitation/ Questions: KeckCFP@ipac.caltech.edu 4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4 POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN SPACE PHYSICS AT SWEDISH INSTITUTE OF SPACE PHYSICS The Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF) in Uppsala is looking for a postdoc for the investigations of kinetic plasma processes at Earth's magnetopause and magnetotail. The work involves the analysis of magnetic, electric, and plasma measurements from the multi-spacecraft Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission. https://www.irf.se/en/news/2022/08/17/postdoctoral-position-in-space-physics-ref-2-2-1-293-22/ 5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5 MERCURY SCIENCE AND EXPLORATION AUGUST 2022 NEWSLETTER RELEASED The Mercury Exploration Assessment Group (MExAG) is circulating Issue 8 of "The Mercury Newsletter". The quarterly community newsletter can be accessed online at: https://www.lpi.usra.edu/mexag/newsletter/ This newsletter shares Mercury science and exploration news, spotlights early-career researchers, notes upcoming meetings, and highlights recent publications. Please send your Mercury community announcements and calendar items for inclusion in the newsletter to the MExAG Steering Committee at mexag.sc@gmail.com. 6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6 HIRISE DIGITAL TERRAIN MODELS BY-REQUEST AND AT NO-COST FOR FUNDED MARS DATA ANALYSIS PROGRAM AWARDS To support the needs of the Mars science community, the USGS Astrogeology Science Center is providing HiRISE DTMs by request and at no charge for funded ROSES 2022 Mars Data Analysis Program proposals. Investigators are responsible for identification and selection of appropriate HiRISE stereopairs, and must coordinate with USGS personnel before proposal submission to obtain a Confirmation of Technical Specification Letter. DTMs will only be generated for funded proposals. Technical requirements can be found at the USGS Astrogeology Planetary Photogrammetry site: https://tinyurl.com/USGS-HiRISE-DTM Additional details are available in Section 4.3.7 of Appendix C of NASA ROSES 2022. 7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7 INVITATION TO CONTRIBUTE TO PSJ SPECIAL ISSUE: TOWARDS IN SITU OBSERVATIONS OF PLANETARY SURFACE-ATMOSPHERE INTERACTIONS We invite the community to submit papers to a Planetary Science Journal special issue, "Towards in situ observations of planetary surface-atmosphere interactions". The goal of this issue is to showcase recent research into surface-atmosphere interactions that can be constrained by in situ observations of present-day processes and their environmental drivers. Papers that focus on fundamental physical processes or activity on a specific planetary body (including Earth) are welcome, as long as the work relates to processes or investigations relevant to planetary science studies. Mission or instrument or operations concept papers are also welcome, as long as they are tied to key science questions. Papers can be submitted through November, 2022; the issue is targeted for March, 2023. Please direct questions about this special issue to Serina Diniega (serina.diniega@jpl.nasa.gov). The other guest editors are Lou Giersch (JPL), Jack Gillies (DRI), Brian Jackson (BSU), Alejandro Soto (SwRI), and Tim Titus (USGS). Submission instructions and page charges are explained here: https://journals.aas.org/planetary-science-journal/ Fee waivers for those with need can be requested through PSJ, please email Serina for more information. [Edited for length] 8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8 POSTDOC AT JPL: COMETARY COMAE The postdoc will be involved in an effort to accurately retrieve the abundance and distribution of water in the coma of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasamenko to help understand the physical processes driving outbursts and coma formation and evolution. The postdoc will play a central role in modeling how small dust grains can radiatively "pump" gases in the coma to higher temperatures than expected from considerations of local thermal equilibrium, incorporating that model into an existing coma simulation, and then using that code to retrieve physical properties of the coma. Qualifications: Candidate must have: - Ph.D. in planetary science or a related field - Experience with observational or theoretical studies of comae - Familiarity with spectral observations Desired qualifications include: - Experience with radio- or IR-wavelength observations - Familiarity with radiative transfer calculations and numerical modeling - Familiarity with systems in non-local thermodynamic equilibrium A complete description and instructions to apply are available at https://www.jpl.jobs/job/R2557/Postdoc-Study-of-Cometary-Comae-Rosetta-Mission Prospective candidates are encouraged to contact Dr. Hofstadter (mark.hofstadter@jpl.nasa.gov) or Dr. von Allmen (paul.vonallmen@jpl.nasa.gov) prior to submitting their application to discuss their research interests. This position is available immediately, and applications will be reviewed as they are received. 9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9 PLANETARY MEETING CALENDAR ADDITIONS Note: Most face-to-face meetings going forward will have online components.
