SUMMARY:The formation of planets and brown dwarfs by disc fragmentation - 
 Dr. Dimitris Stamatellos (UCLAN)

CONTACT:Adrian Barker
DESCRIPTION:I will discuss the role that disc fragmentation may play in th
 e formation of gas giant and terrestrial planets\, and how this relates to
  the formation of brown dwarfs and low-mass stars\, and ultimately to the 
 process of star formation. Protostellar discs may fragment\, if they are m
 assive enough and can cool fast enough\, but most of the objects that form
  by fragmentation are brown dwarfs. It may be possible that planets also f
 orm\, if the mass growth of a proto-fragment is stopped (e.g. if this frag
 ment is ejected from the disc)\, or suppressed and even reversed (e.g by t
 idal stripping). Finally\, I will discuss whether there is any observation
 al evidence for disc fragmentation.
