From Transits to Trends: the Next Decade of Long-Period Exoplanets
August 5-8, 2025
University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM
The discovery of a growing number of long-period transiting exoplanets accessible to detailed characterization in recent years has enabled
the community to expand the parameter space within which exoplanet properties can be investigated, and begin drawing more direct
comparisons with Solar System planets. But as studies of these exoplanets often require a larger telescope time investment than
their closer-in counterparts, the time is ripe for considering the most pressing questions the community has about this population
and how to best address them.
Scientific Rationale
The goals of this meeting are to:
- highlight recent results in the detection, characterization and demographics of transiting exoplanets with orbital periods in the tens-to-hundreds of days
- foster discussion on how to best maximize the scientific return of studies of this population of exoplanets
- help inform future observing strategies and mission development
The workshop will be in-person only. Unfortunately, we do not have the resources to support a hybrid event.
