of professional respect and courtesy.

Mobile Phones & Related Devices Cell phones, pagers, and similar electronic devices should be silenced. Before each session begins and before you enter an active session, please silence your cell phone and any other devices that have audible alerts. Switching phones to vibrate rather than ring is not sufficient, as the vibrations can be heard or felt by those nearby. Do not dial or take a phone call during a session. Please exit the session room before beginning or answering a call. All modern mobile phones have caller-ID and call-back features — please make use of them.

21

Computers & Internet Service The AAS provides wireless Internet service throughout each meeting, but we cannot guarantee full coverage in all locations. We provide priority access in the common areas. This means you may experience limited connectivity in the session rooms. If you do make use of wireless Internet access during a presentation, or even if you are KVTU

to minimize distractions to other attendees and the speaker. If you must use a computer during a session, please consider sitting near the back of the room so as not to distract the speaker or session chair. These same guidelines apply to mobile phones, tablets, and other electronic devices. One of the cost drivers for meeting registration is provision of adequate bandwidth, which — believe it or not — costs tens of thousands of dollars per meeting. Excessive downloading or uploading of files, software updates, streaming video, and other bandwidth-hungry activities (e.g., gaming, exploring virtual worlds) increases the costs for all attendees. The AAS reserves the right to ban excessive users from its meeting network and to use site blocking, port blocking, and traffic shaping to ensure adequate bandwidth for all.

Sessions & Questions If you are giving a presentation, please be sure you have read the speaker and AV instructions on the AAS website (http://aas.org/meetings/av_information.php). All oral presentations must be uploaded to the internal network in the Speaker Ready Room. Personal laptops and USB member drives will not be permitted for presentations in session rooms. We ask that you upload your presentation at least 24 hours in advance. Be sure to show up at your session on time. The session chair is in charge of the session.

OPO attendance of a scheduled speaker. The chair cannot end talk times beyond the common limits of 10 minutes for regular contributions and 20 minutes for dissertation contributions (including time allotted for Q&A). When asking questions of speakers, please be professional, courteous, and polite. This is especially important when questioning students presenting their dissertation research. Be considerate of other people wishing to ask questions. If you have multiple or detailed questions, speak with the presenter after the session.

Photography & Video Many events and presentations at AAS meetings are recorded for posterity by a Society photographer. Some sessions, and all press conferences, are videotaped and eventually posted on the AAS members website as a member benefit. Your attendance at an AAS meeting signifies your agreement to be photographed or videotaped in the course of normal meeting business. Invited and prize lecturers will be asked to sign a form for legal clarity. If you take pictures during the meeting, please be considerate of others. Do not use a flash when taking pictures during sessions.

Eating, Drinking & Smoking Because our meetings are so full of great content, it can be hard to find time to eat breakfast or lunch. If you must eat or drink while attending a session, please do so quietly and be sure to deposit your trash properly after the session ends. Additional cleaning services costs the AAS money and increases registration costs. Some venues have strict policies against eating or drinking in particular areas. Meeting attendees are expected to follow these policies. Attendees may not bring their own alcoholic beverages or drink them at the meeting venue outside of areas or times when they are sold. Obviously, this does not apply to bars, restaurants, or other facilities colocated with our meeting venues. AAS meetings are strictly non-smoking, consistent with laws in the localities where we hold our conferences. When possible, smoking areas will be clearly identified.

Blogging & Tweeting If you blog, tweet, or otherwise post near-real-time material from the meeting online, you must follow the guidelines above concerning the use of computers, tablets, mobile phones, and AAS wireless bandwidth. Please do not publicly report private conversations — only scheduled presentations and public comments are fair game for blogging, tweeting, etc. Remember that many presentations at AAS meetings concern work that has not yet been peer-reviewed. So think twice before posting a blog entry or tweet that is critical of such work. It is helpful to receive constructive criticism during the Q&A after your talk or while standing next to your poster, but it is hurtful to be raked over the coals online before your session is even over and with no easy way to respond. New York Times editor Bill Keller said it well. When it comes to meetings among colleagues, IF

Harassment in any form will not be tolerated at this meeting, at any other meeting of the Society, or in any activity sponsored or organized by the Society. Harassment has no role in our professional environment and should also not be tolerated in our universities, telescope facilities, and other professional gatherings. The AAS Council has established an anti-harassment policy for meetings and activities PG

as described in the policy, will be removed from the meeting facility and perhaps from future meetings as well after due process has verified that inappropriate behavior occurred. If any meeting attendee feels he or she has been harassed, they should not hesitate to contact me, any member of Council or the Executive Officer so that we may both assist you confidentially and prevent others from being harassed. We must all work together to ensure an environment free of harassment so that our scholarly and collegial interactions are focused on our common mission: to enhance and share humanity’s scientific understanding of the Universe. We can only accomplish this mission fully when we respect each other as professionals, and I call on each of you to help us in this regard. David Helfand, President

Anti-Harassment Policy for Meetings and Activities of the AAS Preface The AAS Bylaws include an Article addressing non-discrimination in professional activities:

ARTICLE X. NON-DISCRIMINATION IN PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES As a professional society, the AAS must provide an environment that encourages the free expression and exchange of scientific ideas. In pursuit of that environment, the AAS is committed to the philosophy of equality of opportunity and treatment for all members, regardless of gender, gender identity or expression, race, color, national or ethnic origin, religion or religious belief, age, marital status, sexual orientation, disabilities, veteran status, or any other reason not related to scientific merit. All functions of the Society must be conducted in a professional atmosphere in which all participants are treated with courtesy and respect. It is the responsibility of the chairperson of an AAS committee, of the organizers of any AAS meeting, and of the members themselves to ensure that such an atmosphere is maintained. Furthermore, the rich diversity of the Society’s membership and of the astronomical community in general is a resource that should be drawn upon when selecting organizing committees, invited speakers, and nominees for office and for special prizes. Consistent with this non-discrimination Bylaw, the AAS Council at its January 2008 meeting approved the following Anti-Harassment policy. Consistent with this non-discrimination Bylaw, the AAS Council at its January 2008 meeting approved the following Anti-Harassment policy.

Definition of Sexual Harassment Sexual harassment refers to unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature. Behavior and language that are welcome/ acceptable to one person many be unwelcome/offensive to another.

Scope of Policy This policy applies to all attendees at Society activities, including scientists, students, guests, staff, contractors, and exhibitors, participating in the scientific sessions, tours, and social events of any AAS or Division meeting or other activity.

Reporting an Incident Advice for reporting sexual or other forms of harassment is available on the web site of the Committee on the Status of Women in Astronomy (CSWA): www.aas.org/cswa/ Here is a summary of the more detailed information available on the CSWA web page: Write everything down (times, places, nature of the incident, and comments made). Save e-mails, notes, etc. Tell someone you trust. It is likely that you will have to write and sign an official letter of complaint, documenting the nature of the harassment and/or discrimination. Be as detailed as possible. Supporting documentation and statements from witnesses should be submitted with your letter. "OZ

should contact the AAS Executive Officer or other Society Officer. Other Society Officers include the President, past President or President-elect, senior Vice Presidents, Secretary and Treasurer. He or she is not required or expected to discuss the concern with the alleged offender. All complaints will be treated seriously and be investigated promptly. Confidentiality will be honored to the extent permitted as long as the rights of others are not compromised.

The Investigation 1. The Executive Committee will name an impartial investigator, usually a Society Officer or Council member. Any named investigator who believes they have a conflict of interest should not serve as an investigator. 2. In most cases, the complainant will be interviewed first and the written complaint reviewed. If the complainant has not already filed a formal complaint, he or she should be asked to do so. 3. The details of the complaint should be explained to the alleged offender by the investigator. 4. The alleged offender should be given a reasonable chance to respond to the evidence of the complainant and to bring his or her own evidence. 5. If the facts are in dispute, further investigatory steps may include interviewing those named as witnesses. 6. If, for any reason, the investigator is in doubt about whether or how to continue, he or she will seek appropriate counsel. 7. When the investigation is complete, the investigator should report the findings to the Executive Officer of the Society or other Society Officer, as appropriate.

Why are AAS Meetings so Expensive? Unfortunately, the real question is why are they so inexpensive! Similar meetings in the commercial sector have registration fees exceeding $1000 for a one-week meeting…and those are the inexpensive ones. The main reason AAS meetings registration rates are $500 PS

we incur to hold the meeting. The pie chart shown here shows the expenses for a typical winter meeting, excluding meeting staff salaries and Executive Office expenses. Excluding these costs, a typical winter meeting costs more than $1 million to successfully carry out. As you can see, the bulk of our expenses for past meetings have been food-related and for the logistical support necessary to carry out the meeting, with the food-related costs dominating the expenses. But why are food & beverages (aka F&B) so expensive? Primarily because the cost JODPSQPSBUFT

to setup, monitor, refresh and take down the F&B service. For a typical venue, a gallon of generic coffee or of hot water for tea is $70. Coffee breaks as a package at most venues cost more than $25 per person per day. Read that last sentence carefully. What about shrimp on a stick for a reception? They can cost $10 each.

entities…they need to make a profit and F&B is one place they can charge higher rates to achieve their bottom-line goals. Some have said we should bring in outside food via catering services. This is sometimes possible and sometimes cheaper, but nearly all venues either prohibit external F&B vendors or charge extra to allow external catering. Not all attendees have their registration paid for by grants, so we are very sensitive to the total cost to attend our meetings and work hard to keep the registration rate as affordable as possible along with the hotel rates and other costs. Transportation expenses we have no control over, but we do try and minimize that cost by picking cities that are relatively easy to get to, with some exceptions. We hope that this attention to total cost enables our many members who are not at large institutions or grant recipients to attend our meetings. We hope that the meeting industry resets its exorbitant costs due to the current economic climate, but so far we have not seen them change their pricing. We will continue to ensure that the core purpose of our meetings, scientific discussion and interaction can be fulfilled and we will do so at the lowest possible cost to ensure the broadest possible participation in our discipline. We welcome your input and comments, as always. Kevin B. Marvel Executive Officer [email protected]

CAE/CATS Astro 101 Tier I Teaching Excellence Workshop Part I Saturday, 8:00 AM - 5:30 PM, Regency Ballroom B, Downtown Hyatt Long Beach The overarching goal of this workshop is for participants to become familiar with researchvalidated active engagement teaching strategies and assessment materials, as well as how to implement them in their college astronomy courses, through role-playing, modeling, practice, and more! To accomplish this goal, participants in our workshop will learn how to create productive learning environments beginning with a brief review of research on the nature of teaching and learning. Most workshop time will be spent with participants playing the roles of student, instructor, and critical friend to practice implementing active engagement strategies such as interactive lectures, Think-Pair-Share, interactive demonstrations and videos, collaborative groups, Lecture-Tutorials, and Ranking Tasks. The workshop will culminate with participants learning how to put these teaching strategies together into effective learning sequences for the learner-centered classroom. This workshop is designed for college instructors, post-docs, and graduate and undergraduate students currently teaching astronomy (or who think they will be in the near future). Presented by Gina Brissenden (Center for Astronomy Education (CAE), University of Arizona), Rica French (MiraCosta College) and Paul Robinson (Westchester Community College).

We will discuss how to figure out what story to tell, select the right data, and pick appropriate graph type, as well as visual encodings (symbols, shapes, colors, etc.). The goal is to learn how to create a visualization that conveys appropriate knowledge to a specific audience (which may include the designer). The workshop will include a guided walk through of the visualization design process with coaching and conversations about your specific data and audience. Noah Iliinsky is the co-author of Designing Data Visualizations and technical editor of, and a contributor to, Beautiful Visualization, published By O’Reilly Media. He has spent the last several years thinking about effective approaches to creating diagrams and other types of information visualizations.

91 HAD II Special: Preservation of Astronomical Heritage and Archival Data Sunday, 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM, Room 103B, Long Beach Convention Center This session will deal with preserving astronomy’s rich cultural heritage, including its largely untapped archival collections of scientific data, sites of historical importance and the many historical papers and instruments that have yet to be scholarly discussed. In January 2007, in response to concerns that parts of the heritage was in serious danger of being lost, the AAS created the Working Group on the Preservation of Astronomical Heritage 8(1")

Faculty and teaching assistants: do you feel sufficiently well informed about the issues facing your students who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT)? If an LGBT student comes to your office hours asking for help, do you know how to respond? Do you know the warning signs of suicide or how to address bullying, issues that disproportionately affect LGBT students? How can you discourage discrimination and cultivate an atmosphere of inclusion in your classes and in your department? This interactive workshop will help AAS members educate themselves about their LGBT students, learn what resources are available at their home institutions, and develop themselves as more effective mentors and allies to their LGBT students. By so doing, participants will promote diversity and fairness in their classes and home institutions. The workshop will be sponsored by the AAS Working Group on LGBTIQ Equality (WGLE). Training will be conducted by Jami Grosser, Pride Center Coordinator at Cal Poly Pomona and SafeZone trainer for Caltech.

108 Early Science Results from the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Arrays (HERA) Monday, 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM, Room 101B, Long Beach Convention Center The first Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Arrays (HERA), including the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) in Western Australia and the Precision Array to the Probe the Epoch of Reionization (PAPER) in South Africa, are low-frequency radio telescopes that aim to detect redshifted 21 cm emission from neutral hydrogen gas in the intergalactic medium during the Epoch of Reionization (EoR). The HERA program is focused on radio frequencies between 100 and 200 MHz, corresponding to redshifts of 13 > z > 6 for hydrogen 21 cm emission from the EoR. The radio sky in this frequency range remains a largely unstudied frontier. It is dominated by foreground synchrotron emission from the Milky Way and extragalactic sources that is four orders of magnitude brighter than the expected EoR signal. In this session, we highlight early science results from the HERA pathfinders that characterize the low-frequency radio sky, including new catalogs of radio sources, wide-field maps of diffuse Galactic emission structures, and surveys for transient sources. We focus on initial results from MWA and PAPER and their implications for deep EoR observations. Both MWA and 1"1&3

from low redshifts, through the peak of galaxy formation activity, and into the epoch of reionization. Multiwavelength photometry will identify high-redshift candidates (z > 4) and measure bolometric luminosities and star formation rates of galaxies with minimal source confusion at the shortest wavelengths. CCAT will probe the astrophysics of galaxy clusters by measuring the integrated Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect out to cluster virial radii, while robustly removing dusty, contaminating point sources. Maps of nearby galaxies will resolve structures down to the size scales of GMCs. In the Milky Way, CCAT will measure the molecular cloud clump mass function down to the substellar regime. Surveys will rapidly build up samples of hundreds of thousands of sources for statistical studies, follow-up with other facilities, and comparison to multiwavelength observations.

115 Research Based Initiatives for Broadening the Participation of Women and Minorities in Astronomy Monday, 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM, Room 102A, Long Beach Convention Center This proposal is in response to a request from AAS Past President Debra Elmegreen for a Special Session highlighting initiatives to broaden participation of women and underrepresented minorities in astronomy, especially through research-immersive experiences. There are now several programs sponsored by NSF and hosted by AAS member institutions that focus on providing early and ongoing research experiences to underrepresented groups in order to enhance recruitment, retention, training, and mentoring starting as early as the freshman year and continuing through to completion of the PhD and beyond. The impetus for these programs is clear, given the mandate from the NSF and from the Astro2010 decadal survey to address the long-standing problem of fully engaging the nation in the development of the astronomy and astrophysics workforce for the 21st century. This session will inform the Society about proven best practice approaches to improve retention in the sciences, increase diversity, provide paths for students who for various reasons enter the astronomical profession at a later life/career stage, etc. The speakers will describe the structure of their programs as well as the research basis, the underlying theory of action, the measurable outcomes, and the documented blueprints that are available for others to adopt/adapt these proven strategies.

Monday, 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM, Room 202A, Long Beach Convention Center Over the years, NASA has invested heavily in the development and execution of an extensive array of space astrophysics missions that span the electromagnetic spectrum. The magnitude and scope of the archival data from those missions enables science that transcends traditional wavelength regimes and allows researchers to answer questions that would be difficult, if not impossible, to address through an individual observing program. To capitalize on this invaluable asset and enhance the scientific return on NASA mission investments, the Astrophysics Data Analysis Program (ADAP) provides support for investigations whose focus is on the analysis of archival data from NASA space astrophysics missions. This session highlights recent research results in the general area of galactic astrophysics from investigators supported under the ADAP Program. Chair Douglas M.

this sense we teach students a pseudo science, not its real nature, beauty, and value. This workshop will encourage and equip educators to immerse students in numerical thinking throughout a science course. The workshop begins by identifying common deficiencies in skills and attitudes among non-science collegians (freshman-senior) enrolled in General Education astronomy courses. The bulk of the workshop engages participants in well-tested techniques (e.g., presentation methods, curriculum, activities, mentoring approaches, etc.) for improving students’ arithmetic skills, increasing their confidence, and improving their abilities in numerical expression. These techniques are grounded in 25+ years of experience in college classrooms and pre-college informal education. They are suited for use in classrooms (K-12 and college), informal venues, and science communication in general and could be applied across the standard school curriculum. Organizer Donald W.

127 Family Leave Policies and Childcare for Graduate Students and Postdocs Monday, 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM, Room 201B, Long Beach Convention Center This special session will provide a forum in which individuals in positions to influence policy (including university faculty and department chairs, and program directors from funding agencies) and those who may directly benefit from such policies (graduate students and postdocs) can discuss the current practices regarding parental leave and childcare for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, and the means by which departments and funding agencies can establish more supportive policies. The session will begin with the results from the recent national survey of graduate student parental leave policies in US departments of astronomy and astrophysics. We will then hear from a department chair and graduate student who together implemented a departmental paid leave policy. Additional speakers include program directors from NSF and NASA, as well as the AAS President
