NASA EVENTS SET FOR AMERICAN ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY MEETING

WASHINGTON -- NASA scientists will present new findings on a wide
range of astrophysics topics next week at the annual meeting of the
American Astronomical Society (AAS). The meeting takes place Jan.
6-10 at the Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center, 300 E.
Ocean Blvd, in Long Beach, Calif. Media registration for the event is
open.

None of the briefings will be carried on NASA Television, but all will
be web-streamed on AAS's website for registered journalists.

NASA's media briefings during the meeting will feature topics such as
new video of a rapidly rotating neutron star, the latest images of
the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A, and the most detailed "weather
map" of a brown dwarf star. In addition, NASA scientists and their
colleagues who use NASA research capabilities will present noteworthy
findings during several scientific sessions throughout the week.
