Disks - Variability, Gaps & Protoplanets • A Practical Guide

How do planetary systems form & evolve? Need to study the disk structures as a function of “age”.

Exoplanets “Hot Jupiters”? Who ordered those?!
Okay, where did all the “Hot Jupiters” come from? Cannot form inside the snow/frost line Formed further out & migrated A nice “little” (8 MB) of one example, by Phil Armitage, U Colorado
Also, planetary scattering (Nice model...) Bottom line: current locations of exoplanets may have little to do with where they formed. Late Heavy Bombardment but LHB disputed...
