Colloquium by Eve Lee, UC San Diego

Planets form in protoplanetary disks, the spinning disks of gas and dust surrounding young stars. The properties of the disks therefore play a fundamental role in determining what kind of planets form, where they appear, and how they may evolve. I will identify and discuss the key disk parameters that critically control nearly all of the early stages of planet formation and how they sculpt the architecture of planetary systems and the overall exoplanet demographics.
