2016 Sagan Exoplanet Summer Workshop: July 18-22

Is There a Planet in My Data? Statistical Approaches to Finding and Characterizing Planets in Astronomical Data

POP Presentation Schedule and Poster Listing

Posters will be up all week just outside Beckman Institute Auditorium. There will be two dedicated poster sessions, Monday afternoon (even numbered posters) and Wednesday afternoon (odd numbered posters).

The space available for each poster is 4' x 4' (1.2 m x 1.2 m).
