PRELIMINARY SCHEDULE
Prize Lectures and Invited Talks are presented during unparalleled time slots. Invited Speakers will receive specialized abstract submission instructions.
The AAS Special Sessions included in this schedule were previously approved by AAS Vice-Presidents and are being organized by AAS Members. The speakers selected for these sessions will receive abstract submission instructions. Additional contributed papers relevant to a Special Session may be included in the Final Program.
Additional Sessions will be added to the Meeting Schedule based on contributed papers. Abstracts for contributed presentations, both oral and poster are due 9:00pm EDT, Wednesday, 18 October 2006 (No exceptions, this is a strict deadline.)
