Hello Exoplaneteers & Happy New Year!

2021 Was quite the year for us here at the Exoplanet Modeling & Analysis Center! Thanks to all of our wondeful contributors our respository grew by a whopping 76% with 63 new tools! Each one of our 11 categories recieved new tools, but adding new tools to our repository has not been all we've been doing.

In our ongoing efforts to make EMAC as user-friendly as possible, in 2021 we:

• Created subcategories to make finding the tool you need within its category much easier.
• Sent out tool editing links to all new and past contributors so that they may edit/update their tool's entry on the fly, before being approved by EMAC's Science Support Team for publishment. 
• Added Jupyter and WebApp buttons to a resource's entry.
  • The Jupyter button takes you to an interactrive Jupyter Notebook interface where you can test out a tool before downloading it. (35 tools with this button) 
  • The WebApp button opens up a web application interface where you can also test the tool of your choice without looking at all the code. (20 tools with this button)
• Added the Feedback and Copy Link to Clipboard icons to the top right portion of every tool's entry to allow users to give us constructive criticism and share tools with the click of a button, respectively.
• Added what Coding Language was used to create each tool on the bottom left hand corner of each entry. 
• Grew our Twitter following to ~600 followers and YouTube Channel to ~70 subscribers.
  • YouTube Demo Tutorials now have Closed Captioning in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
• Last but definitely not least, our very own Nick Susemiehl gave a 5 minute flash talk titled, "New Enhancements to the Exoplanet Modeling & Analysis Center" at the 2021 Chesapeake Bay Area Exoplanet Meeting.

If 2022 is anything like 2021 you can rest assured knowing that EMAC will continue growing and evolving to meet the goal of exoplanet characterization! 

 

Now, we would like to congratulate all the winners of the inagural 2021 Exoplanet Modeling & Analysis Center's End of Year Superlatives (EMACeys), hosted on our Twitter page, @ExoplanetModels!

Dear EMAC users and resource developers,

The NASA Nexus for Exoplanet System Science (NExSS) CUISINES Working Group is pleased to announce a workshop:

BUFFET: Building a Unified Framework For Exoplanet Treatments

September 27-29, 2021 • online everywhere

This three-day workshop will bring together scientists who use a variety of models to explore the planets in the Solar System and beyond, and who are interested in participating in community-led efforts to compare results across models. These model intercomparisons will hopefully lead to a better understanding of modeled planetary environments, processes and spectral characteristics that are dramatically different from modern Earth, as well as lead to improvements for individual models.

The main objective of this workshop is the development of a framework for designing exoplanet model intercomparison projects (MIPs) that would promote best scientific practices and maximize scientific output, as well as enable broad and inclusive community participation.

This workshop is for you if:

• You use and/or develop computational models to study the past or current states of Earth, Solar System bodies, or exoplanets (ranging from icy moons and dwarf planets to hot Jupiters and brown dwarfs).
• You use and/or develop computational models to generate synthetic planetary spectra that may also be used with instrument simulators.
• You would like to contribute to the development of community standards that can help lead to new comparative planetology insights, and to more robust interpretations/predictions for observational missions.

 

A significant part of the workshop will be devoted to brainstorming about both scientific targets and practical matters for completing MIPs that advance the scientific interests of the community. The BUFFET workshop is therefore directly in line with SEEC and EMAC community-oriented efforts and will be closely connected to the EMAC mission by providing data and model repositories for each of the CUISINES future intercomparisons.

Your contributions as users and developers will aid the community in facilitating these future intercomparisons! We therefore encourage the EMAC community to please indicate their interest to aid us in planning by filling out the following short form: https://forms.gle/yvQ1ka3qpfRtaAXi7

 

Thanks,

The EMAC and CUISINES Teams, for the BUFFET SOC

Hello Exoplaneteers! The EMAC catalog is up to 100+ tools and resources, 53 of which have either a WebApp or interactive Jupyter Notebook button for users to "test drive" the tool or resource.
