Origins of Structure in Planetary Systems - Ruth Murray-Clay (SETI Talk...
Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 24 Φεβ 2017
Observations
confirm that planet formation is a ubiquitous process that produces a
diversity of planetary systems. However, a class of solar system analogs
has yet to be identified among the thousands of currently known planets
and candidates, the overwhelming majority of which are more easily
detectable than direct counterparts of the Sun's worlds. To understand
whether our solar system’s history was unusual and, more generally, to
properly characterize the galactic population of extrasolar planets, we
must identify how differences in formation environment translate into
different planetary system architectures. In this talk, Dr. Murray-Clay
will consider our solar system in the context of theoretical advances in
planet formation driven by the study of extrasolar planets. Along the
way, she will discuss several examples of physical processes operating
at different stages of planet formation that imprint observable
structures on the dynamical and compositional demographics of planetary
systems.
