SUMMARY:Planet formation and evolution: origin of the diversity of planeta
 ry systems - Alessandro Morbidelli (Nice)
DTSTART:20170612T150000Z

CONTACT:Jean Teyssandier
DESCRIPTION:The discovery of extrasolar planets has revealed an unexpected
  diversity among planetary systems. Our Solar System appears to be a "mino
 rity case"\, given that about 75% of the stars seem to have planets with c
 haracteristics that are absent in our own system.\nUnderstanding the origi
 n of such diversity is a major goal in planet formation and evolution mode
 ls. I will discuss several key processes and particularly the effects prod
 uced when a planet in the system grows to the status of "giant". The talk 
 will focus on the origin of the structure of the Solar System and on the o
 rigin of the almost ubiquitous systems of close-in super-Earth.
