The Formation and Destruction of Binary Stars

《原恒星行星的演化》AST-9987417。博登海默继续他对原恒星凝聚和圆盘的发展和演化的研究。将特别强调原行星的发展及其在调节原恒星盘后期阶段中的作用。这些结果将直接有助于更好地理解太阳系是如何形成的，以及新发现的各种太阳系外行星最有可能形成的情景。该项目的资金由NSF恒星天文与天体物理学计划(AST/SAA)提供。

Bodenheimer, Peter"Evolution of Protostellar Planets"AST-9987417Dr. Bodenheimer continues his investigation of the development and evolution of protostellar condensations and disks. Particular emphasis will be placed on the development of protoplanets and their role in moderating the later stages of protostellar disks. The results will directly contribute to a better understanding of how the solar system formed, and the most likely formation scenarios for the wide assortment of newly discovered extrasolar planets.Funding for this project was provided by the NSF program for Stellar Astronomy & Astrophysics (AST/SAA).
