This meeting aims to bring together
researchers in the Washington, DC area to investigate
topics related to the origins and formation of
planets and exoplanets. The "Disks" in the title
refer to circumstellar disks around young stars
in which planets are forming, but we also welcome
discussion of planets, exoplanets, meteorites,
comets and asteroids, and any other topic which
might shed light on the origins of planetary systems.
This is the third annual workshop of the series,
and NASA-Goddard Space Flight Center is proud to be hosting
this year's meeting.
