Astronomy Colloquium
ALMA and JWST team up to understand the formation of planets
Date: Tuesday, October 8th
Time: 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Place: WiCOR 6th Floor Sterling
Speaker: Dr. Nicolas Kurtovic, Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics
Abstract: Exoplanets are a common outcome of the star-formation process. Some of the most relevant properties of planetary systems are set during their formation: the number of planets, mass, architecture, and composition. In this talk, I will focus on what we have learned about planet formation on the most common type of stars: late M-dwarfs and binaries, and how the combination of ALMA with JWST/MIRI gives us a full picture of the planet-formation environment.
