SUMMARY:LCLU Coffee: The Puzzle of Planet Formation - Joanna Drazkowska\, 
 MPS Göttingen
DTSTART:20230824T100000Z
DTEND:20230824T110000Z
UID:TALK201532@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Paul B. Rimmer
DESCRIPTION:The classical theory of planet formation was conceived when ou
 r knowledge about planets was confined to the Solar System alone. In recen
 t years\, the numerous discoveries of planetary systems orbiting stars oth
 er than the Sun have dramatically transformed this landscape. In this talk
 \, I will discuss the key constraints on planet formation we gathered not 
 only by studying the exoplanet population\, but also from the ever-improvi
 ng observations of circumstellar disks\, and the ultraprecise measurements
  of the Solar System samples. I will outline the emerging paradigm of plan
 et formation\, in which the centimeter-sized dust aggregates\, colloquiall
 y known as pebbles\, take center stage. Finally\, I will discuss the most 
 puzzling open questions we still have about the planet formation process.
