Constraints on Planet Formation from Theory, Observations, and Meteoritics

Invited speakers are from various backgrounds, including astronomy, astrophysics, cosmochemistry, and planetary sciences, to discuss interdisciplinary research at the frontier of understanding how planets and solar systems form and evolve. Discussions will include how theory, meteoritical, returned sample and astronomical observations, as well as results from spacecrafts provide complementary constraints on a range of topics, including the birth environment of the Solar System, how gas and dust in disks may be converted into planetary bodies, the origin and evolution of volatiles in disks, and the diversity of planetary system architectures. A particular focus will be on the latest findings from the sample return OSIRIS-REx and Hayabusa2 space missions to primitive solar system bodies, new results from the JWST and ground-based facilities like the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, and from theoretical investigations.
