  "account": "The deadline for submitting abstracts to the 249th AAS meeting has been extended to Monday, 5 October 2026 at 1:59 PM Eastern (8:59 PM Pacific). Participants can choose between an iPoster or a paper poster when submitting their abstract, with the decision being final as it cannot be changed later. A tutorial on the iPoster process is available from AAS member Dr. Ronald Gamble. Students interested in the Chambliss Student Poster Competition must submit their poster abstracts by the same 5 October deadline, but only iPosters are eligible for the competition. For any inquiries, the AAS meetings team can be reached at (202) 328-2010 or meetings@aas.org.
