Steven J. Ostro Memorial Symposium

Dear Colleagues,

This is an invitation for you to attend a one-day JPL Symposium to honor
the memory of Steve Ostro. The Symposium will be held at JPL's Von
Karman Auditorium on Thursday June 4, 2009 (8:30 - 5:00).

The ten invited oral presentations are listed below. Attendees are
invited to bring poster presentations (30 x 40 inches), which will be
displayed in Von Karman Auditorium all day. If there is sufficient
interest, additional room for posters will be provided in a facility
adjacent to the Auditorium.

There is no registration fee.

To facilitate access to JPL (through JPL security) and to make plans for
the poster presentations, potential attendees are asked to contact
either Don Yeomans (donald.k.yeomans at jpl.nasa.gov) or Lance Benner
(Lance.Benner at jpl.nasa.gov; 818-354-7412) by May 15 with the following
information:

Name

Affiliation

email address

U.S. citizen?

Will you bring a poster presentation?

If so, what is the title of your poster presentation?

We welcome posters from fields closely related to or inspired by Steve's
work but we would also like to invite colleagues to bring posters on
other scientific topics. We also welcome attendees to include pictures
of Steve on the posters.

With kind regards,

Don Yeomans and Lance Benner, Co-Chairs
