Rationale

Welcome to the first virtual iteration of the Scottish Exoplanet/Brown Dwarf meeting!

Over the last 5 years the Scottish Exoplanet/Brown Dwarf meetings have been hosted jointly by the Universities of Edinburgh and St Andrews covering everything from planet formation to ultra-low mass star activity. Major talks and updates on instrumentation and proposed observations of JWST, CHEOPS, ExoMars, the SUPAscopes, and also LSST have been given by our local PI and project leaders. On the modelling side, PI's have introduced topics spanning from dynamic disk modelling, multi-wavelength, thermochemistry of disks, 3D atmospheres of exoplanets, and cloud formation modelling. More focused presentations were given by postdocs and PhD students. New postdocs and incoming staff are welcomed to introduce their research to our Scottish Exoplanet/Brown Dwarf community.

In this meeting we will hear about such work with the goal being to facilitate discussion and collaboration between Scotland-based exoplanet and brown dwarf researchers, and to provide a platform for junior community members to present results.

We therefore warmly invite you to join us for the 10th meeting of the Scottish Exoplanet / Brown Dwarf Autumn meeting 2020 (SEBD10) which will be held online on 21 October 2020, from 13.00 to 16.00.
