Observing planet formation in action in protoplanetary disks
Event Start:

Event End:
2020-02-27T12:30:00
Event Information:
Successful exoplanet surveys in the last decade have revealed that planets are ubiquitous throughout the Milky Way, and show a large diversity in mass, location and composition compared to our Solar System. At the same time, new facilities such as the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and optical/infrared facilities such as Gemini/GPI have provided us with sharper images than ever before of protoplanetary disks around young stars, the birth cradles of planets.
