<br>
the XXVIII Winter School in the Canary Islands will be dedicated this year to the "Exploration of the Solar System". It is a great opportunity for students to spend some quality time with the best researchers on the field, to acquire specialized knowledge, in particular this year there is special focus on missions. The school includes this year a workshop in data acquisition and reduction and a visit the observatories in the Canaries, with the 10.4m GTC telescope and some of the best Solar Telescopes.<br>
<br>
If you could distribute this through your departments, specially for PhD students and young post-docs it would be great.<br>

First Announcement of the XXVIII Canary Islands Winter School of<br>
Astrophysics, this year devoted to "Solar System Exploration"<br>
XXVIII IAC Winter School of Astrophysics on "Solar System Exploration",<br>
November 7-16, 2016, Tenerife, Spain.<br>
<br>
The Canary Islands Winter School of Astrophysics has been organized by<br>
the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias<br>
(<a href="http://www.iac.es/index.php?lang=en" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.iac.es/index.php?lang=en</a>) every year since 1989.<br>
The XXVIII IAC Winter School of Astrophysics will be held in the UNESCO<br>
world heritage city of San Cristobal de La Laguna, Tenerife (Spain)<br>
from November 7 to November 16, 2016.<br>
<br>
The school is addressed to post-graduate students in Astrophysics<br>
completing their PhD, and also to young post-docs. It is limited to 50<br>
participants, and requires a registration fee of 950 EUR. The fee covers<br>
attending the school plus shared accommodation in a double-room with<br>
breakfast for the duration of the school. In addition, the fee covers<br>
all social events and an excursion to Teide Observatory<br>
(<a href="http://www.iac.es/eno.php?op1=3&lang=en" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.iac.es/eno.php?op1=3&lang=en</a>).<br>
<br>
The School will provide several advanced courses in the specific topics<br>
described below, including two courses imparted by researchers of the<br>
European Space Agency and focused on ESA planetary space missions.<br>
Additionally, four virtual classes on planeatary space missions will be<br>
imparted by experts from the Centre for Lunar and Asteroid Surface<br>
Science (CLASS), part of the NASA Solar System Exploration Research<br>
Virtual Institute (SSERVI). This year, and for the first time, the<br>
School will also include a small workshop on planetary data reduction<br>
and analysis, and it will put the focus on planetary data archiving.<br>
This is especially interesting nowadays, when the amount of scientific<br>
data from dedicated surveys and space missions is considerable large.<br>
<br>
A number of leading experts in the subject will give lecture on the<br>
following topics:<br>
<br>
1 - Physical properties of asteroid surfaces by Dr. Karri Muinonen<br>
(University of Helsinki, Germany)<br>
2 - Origin and early evolution of the Solar System by Dr. Aurélien Crida<br>
(Laboratoire Lagrange, Université Côte d'Azur, France)<br>
3 - Exploring the outer Solar System by Dr. John Stansberry (Space<br>
Telescope Science Institute - STSCI, EEUU)<br>
4 - Planetary atmospheres by Dr. Sebastien Lebonnois (Laboratoire de<br>
Meteorologie Dynamique, France)<br>
5 - Cometary Science and the Rosetta mission by Dr. Michael Küppers<br>
(European Space Astronomy Centre (ESA/ESAC), Spain)<br>
6 - Planetary Science Archive (PSA) by Dr. Sebastien Besse (European<br>
Space Astronomy Centre (ESAC) Spain)<br>
7 - ESA Missions to Mars and Venus by Dr. Alejandro Cardesín (European<br>
Space Agency, Spain)<br>
<br>
<br>
In order to maximize interactions, lecturers and students will stay in<br>
the same hotel (<a href="http://www.hotelnivaria.com/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.hotelnivaria.com/</a>). Special poster sessions<br>
will be organized for the students that want to present their recent work.<br>
