From Clouds to the Sun: Early Solar System Formation and Planetary Discs - Part 2

Watch an in-depth astrophysics lecture exploring the formation and evolution of planetary systems during their first 10 million years, delivered by Astrophysicist Manuel Guedel at the 2023 Astrobiology Introductory Course. Delve into advanced concepts including planetary disc observations, Kepler's Laws, stellar formation, minimum mass calculations, surface density analysis, and the chemistry of ice lines in early solar system development. Learn about the critical CO ice line and disc dynamics as part of this comprehensive examination of early planetary system formation, designed for PhD students and young scientists in astronomy, geology, chemistry, biology, and history/philosophy of sciences seeking interdisciplinary training in astrobiology.
