Theoretical and Computational Challenges in Planet Formation Workshop

May 20, 2019, 8:00 AM → May 22, 2019, 5:30 PM America/New_York

2nd Floor Auditorium (Flatiron Institute)

The aim of the workshop is to discuss which aspects of planet formation are or are not understood, and to identify areas where future computational developments could make a major impact. Topics of interest are expected to include the theory of protoplanetary disks, planetesimal and planet formation, planet-disk interactions, and migration.
