Colloquium: Eve Lee: "Theories of Planet Formation"

The discovery of thousands of exoplanets revealed a huge variety in the sizes, masses, and orbital properties of planets outside of our solar system. I will discuss how the physics of gas accretion, dust-gas interaction, and star-disk-planet interaction can shape the observed diversity, providing explanations for some of the puzzling demographic patterns that have emerged in exoplanet science while placing our solar system in the larger Galactic context.
