It’s a pleasure to report that the proceedings volume for last June’s New Trends in Astrodynamics conference in Princeton has been published. You can find the contents here. Three papers tackled issues with interstellar implications:
The Princeton event was a marvelous experience (my recollections are online), not just in the chance to talk to Ed Belbruno, whose work I have long admired, but also to have dinner with interstellar theorist Gregory Matloff and his wife, the artist C Bangs, as well as a long and enjoyable breakfast with the Matloffs and Claudio Maccone in Princeton’s Nassau Inn. Next August’s conference should feature a greatly expanded interstellar session, and I’ll have more details on participants as they become available.
