Conference “Gas Accretion in Planet formation”

News carousel

Authors:

The most direct approach to studying the planet formation process is to identify and characterize young, forming planets still embedded in protoplanetary disks. The final stages of gas giant planet formation are influenced by the gas supply from the disk. Additionally, these studies offer insights into the relationship with isolated planetary-mass/brown-dwarf/very-low-mass-star accretors and wide-orbit planets/companions that are not embedded within disks. The aim of this meeting is to bring together researchers to discuss current understanding of gas accretion during planet formation and to explore future directions in this field.

The meeting will be held in person at the Max-Planck-Institut für Astronomie (MPIA) in Heidelberg, Germany, from Monday 10:00 AM 9:00 AM until Wednesday around 2:00 PM. There is a fee to attend the conference.

Due to the capacity of the conference room, the number of attendees is limited to 75.

Update in December 8, 2024: Although the deadline for talk submissions has passed, only poster submissions remain open. As of December 18, 2024, 62 participants have registered for in-person attendance. The registration deadline has been extended until either the number of attendees reaches 75 or January 5, 2025. 

Update in December 18, 2024: Program and poster list are available.

New in January 7, 2024: Fees and Fee payment have been updated.

Oben sieht man, wie das licht eines Sterns durch ein stilisiertes Prisma in seine Farben aufgebrochen wird. Daneben das ungestörte Sternenlichtspektrum in Diagrammform. Unten fällt das Sternenlicht erst durch die Atmosphäre eines Sterns, bevor es durch das Prisma aufgefächert wird. Einige Linien in dem Farbspektrum sind schwarz. Danabene das auf diese Art beeinflusste Sternenpektrum in Diagrammform, mit gut sichtbaren Absorptionslineien.
