Building planetary systems: linking architectures with formation (BuildingPlanS)

Start date: Jun 1, 2016, End date: May 31, 2021,

The last few years have seen an explosion in our knowledge of extra-solar planetary systems. However, most exoplanetary systems look nothing like our own: we see “hot Jupiters” which take just days to orbit their parent stars, planets which meander across entire solar systems on highly eccentric orbits, and even planets orbiting twin, binary suns. These planets formed in relatively homogenous disc ...
