New scientific results from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), the Very Large Array (VLA), and Green Bank Observatory (GBO) were revealed at multiple press conferences during the 243rd meeting of the American Astronomical Society (AAS) from January 8-11, in New Orleans, Louisiana.
The AAS meeting includes a series of press conferences based on a range of themes. Presentations highlighted new research, including new types of planet and star formation, and the accidental discovery of a primordial galaxy.
Press conferences were held in person during the conference, and streamed live on the AAS Press Office Page.
Note: Each press conference consists of a panel of scientists presenting 4-5 unique scientific results. The number listed in parentheses indicates the order of presentation for the listed result.
