About

The Cometary Science Newsletter is dedicated to sharing and furthering cometary science. CSN invites contributions from the astronomical and planetary science communities, including PhD thesis abstracts, timely notes on particular comets, conference announcements, job announcements, or other relevant and brief scientific communications. Relevant topics include observational, theoretical, and laboratory work concerning comets, but also may include studies of associated phenomena, such as Centaurs, asteroid-comet transition objects, debris disks, and protoplanetary disks. Paper abstracts were considered in-scope content prior to June 2024 (Issue 110).

First published in April 2015, the CSN currently has an e-mail distribution list of over 220 subscribers.
