Abstracts for the Lunar and Planetary Sciences Conference next month are now available (thanks to Alex for the alert). They are available at http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2006. I have yet to browse through them, but I intend to do so soon (browsing the web on a Palm does have its disadvantages...).

My abstract is "Equatorial Faculae on Titan: Distribution and Orientation" with Alfred McEwen, Zibi Turtle, Stephanie Fussner, and Cassini ISS Team. I don't have a link yet, but just search for J.E. Perry in the author list. Look for an abstract in the Saturn system (or something like that) poster session. If you read carefully, you will note that I could resist interpreting one of our faculae as a cryovolcano (hey, if VIMS can have a squiggly bright feature called a cryovolcano, why can't we).

One might consider checking these full-session PDFs from time to time in the days leading up to the conference. The reason is that, given past history, a few of the original files are usually updated (e.g., an abstract was corrupted during the PDF distillation process, etc.).

Note that four full-session files were updated today (2/1/06), or at least that was the case for me since I downloaded them a couple of days ago.

For those who may not have noticed, several full-session files have been updated since I posted this, though I don't think any of them are Cassini-related.

Just go to ftp://ftp.lpi.usra.edu/pub/outgoing/lpsc2006/ and sort on the "Modified" date field for a listing.

Alex does this happen when abstracts are accepted beyond the official deadline or simply modifications to already accepted abstracts?

It's probably due to a variety of reasons. I suspect some of the full-session files may have been corrupted during the complilation process or, as you suggest, some abstracts may have been modified. In any event, I just noticed some of the files had new dates, something that has happened with LPSCs. In fact, I notified the conference organizers that one of this year's full-session files was corrupted, and it was subsequently replaced.
