Springer - Formation, Evolution, and Dynamics of Young Solar Systems

Explore the complex processes of planetary development with Formation, Evolution, and Dynamics of Young Solar Systems. Part of the Astrophysics and Space Science Library (445), this volume offers an interdisciplinary approach to understanding how solar systems come to be. This text bridges the gap between several scientific communities. It connects cosmochemists studying meteoritic samples with (sub-)millimetre astronomers measuring dust and gas distribution in star-forming regions. It provides essential insights for disc modellers working on the photo-chemical structure of parametric discs and computational astrophysicists studying the dynamical structure of magnetised gaseous discs. By addressing the effects of internal structures on the aerodynamic re-distribution of embryos, this book serves as a comprehensive resource for researchers and students in the fields of astronomy and astrophysics. It provides the necessary framework to understand the connection between observational data and theoretical models of planet-forming discs.
