This project aims to expand our knowledge of how planetary systems are born. Observations are bringing new insight into the structure of discs of dusty gas orbiting young stars, but not in sufficient detail to understand how planets form within them. This project aims to link the structure of discs to the well-characterised interstellar cloud cores that collapse to form star-disc systems. The project aspires to use innovative techniques to enable the rapid collapse calculations needed to map core properties to disc structure. Expected outcomes include knowledge of the disc structures critical to interpreting observations of forming planetary systems. The benefit will be guidance to the theory needed to explain the incredible variety of planetary systems we see today.

该项目旨在扩大我们对行星系统如何诞生的知识。观测为围绕年轻恒星运行的尘埃气体盘的结构带来了新的见解，但还没有足够的细节来了解行星是如何在其中形成的。该项目旨在将盘的结构与特征鲜明的星际云核心联系起来，这些云核心坍塌形成恒星盘系统。该项目希望使用创新技术来实现将核心属性映射到盘结构所需的快速塌缩计算。预期成果包括了解对解释形成行星系统的观测至关重要的盘结构。其好处将是指导理论需要解释令人难以置信的各种行星系统，我们今天看到的。
