Astrophysics Colloquium
in 210 Physics
Speaker: Dr. Dean C. Hines, NM Office, Space Science Institute
Subject: The Formation and Evolution of Planetary Systems
Refreshments served following the talk in the Astronomy Reading Room, 358 Physics
The advent of powerful ground- and space-based telescopes and extremely sensitive detectors has enabled the development of a comprehensive picture of the formation and evolution of planetary systems, enabling us to better place our solar system in a broad astrophysical context. In this presentation, I will briefly summarize our current understanding of these processes and their intimate connection with stellar evolution. I will
highlight this overview with many new results from the Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes that capture the formation and evolutionary processes in action.
