Astrophysics of Planet Formation
A graduate-level text examining the physical processes that shape planets from disks of gas and dust around young stars.
About This Book
Astrophysics of Planet Formation presents the physical mechanisms involved in the growth of planets from dust and gas around young stars.
The text covers disk structure, particle dynamics, planetesimal formation, and the growth of planetary embryos.
Key processes such as migration, accretion, and disk evolution are examined using observational and theoretical constraints.
The book is intended for graduate students and researchers seeking a quantitative understanding of planet formation.
