Enhancing and sharing humanity’s scientific understanding of the universe since 1899.
About us
The American Astronomical Society (AAS), established in 1899, is a major international organization of professional astronomers, astronomy educators, and amateur astronomers. Its membership of approximately 8,000 also includes physicists, geologists, engineers, and others whose interests lie within the broad spectrum of subjects now comprising the astronomical sciences. The mission of the AAS is to enhance and share humanity’s scientific understanding of the universe as a diverse and inclusive astronomical community, which it achieves through publishing, meetings, science advocacy, education and outreach, and training and professional development.

The Laboratory Astrophysics Division (LAD) of the American Astronomical Society is presenting its 2025 Early Career Award to Dr. Chintan Shah of the Johns Hopkins University, working at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. The award recognizes Dr. Shah’s contributions in the field of modeling and X-ray/ultraviolet spectroscopy of atoms in astrophysical plasma environments. Dr. Shah’s work is instrumental in benchmarking of key electron-photon-ion processes for astrophysical plasma modeling, particularly in resolving the long-standing Fe XVII line emission problem. The LAD Early Career Award is given to an individual who has made significant contributions to the field within 10 years of receiving their PhD. https://ow.ly/P6Y550Tvpnr 🏆

Now through 4 November 2024, NASA is encouraging applications for its 2nd Biennial Astrophysics Mission Design School (AMDS). Offered by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, AMDS is a three-month-long early career development experience to help prepare the next generation of space science and engineering mission leaders. Participants learn the process of developing a science hypothesis-driven robotic space mission in a concurrent engineering environment while getting an in-depth, first-hand look at instrument design, mission life cycle, costs, schedule, and the trade-offs inherent in each. #Astronomy #ExploreAstronomy Applications are due by 4 November! https://ow.ly/uRpn50TrXzv

#AAS245 We're excited to welcome Alexandra Pope as a speaker for the 245th AAS meeting. Pope is an observational astronomer focused on understanding dust-obscured star formation and supermassive black hole growth in galaxies. AAS 245 has a stellar speaker lineup and a jam-packed schedule planned — and with the great turnout expected for this DC-area meeting, you won’t want to miss the excitement! Early-bird registration ends 1 October: https://ow.ly/ArEz50TptMb #ExploreAstronomy
