AbSciCon 2019 - Room 2 Day 1 - Sun Kwok

Synthesis of Complex Organics at the Late Stages of Stellar Evolution & Their Possible Effects on the Enrichment of the Primordial Solar System
Presented by Sun Kwok

AbSciCon is the largest astrobiology conference in the United States organized by the astrobiology community. AbSciCon 2019 was held on 24-28 June 2019 in Bellevue, Washington.

The theme for AbSciCon 2019 was “Understanding and Enabling the Search for Life on Worlds Near and Far.” Within our solar system, icy worlds and Mars have generated excitement, and exoplanets offer numerous and diverse environments where life may exist in other planetary systems. Near future missions and observations will scrutinize many of these targets to understand their environments and search for signs of life. Meanwhile, fundamental research on the origin and evolution of life on Earth drives our understanding about life processes that may operate elsewhere.
