This meeting will gather experts in the field to understand community needs for follow-up observations in the era of K2 and TESS and leading into JWST, PLATO, and WFIRST.
This four-day meeting will focus on the needs for stellar characterization, bound (and unbound) companions, false positive assessment, and planetary characterization with an emphasis on the techniques necessary to accomplish these goals. The follow-up needs for radial velocity, transit, direct imaging, and microlensing detections of planets are similar but also different in detail.
Posters can be put up starting at 7:30 am on Monday, Oct. 9 in the Pasadena room at the Hilton (adjacent to the meeting room, the California Ballroom). Posters should be no larger than 122 cm tall x 111 cm wide.
