Cosmic Renaissance: The Last Chance for Planet Formation Around Dying Stars

该项目将产生一个新的模型，其中行星是从垂死恒星之间相互作用期间排出的气体中产生的，而不是在年轻恒星周围形成。它依赖于独特的多波长，高角分辨率的观测垂死恒星周围的行星形成盘和模拟盘的形成。这项研究将为年轻恒星周围行星形成的不确定过程提供前所未有的见解，并为未来的太空探索任务提供信息。该项目的好处包括产生新的知识，提高澳大利亚在恒星和行星天体物理学方面的声誉，激发STEM兴趣，以及培训机器/深度学习和流体动力学建模方面的研究人员-这对学术界和工业界都是宝贵的技能。

This project will generate a novel model where planets emerge from gas expelled during interactions between dying stars, rather than forming around young stars. It relies on unique multi-wavelength, high-angular resolution observations of planet-forming disks around dying stars and simulations of disk formation. This research will provide unprecedented insight into the uncertain process of planet formation around young stars and inform future space exploration missions. The project's benefits include generating new knowledge, enhancing Australia's reputation in stellar and planetary astrophysics, inspiring STEM interest, and training researchers in machine/deep learning and hydrodynamic modelling - valuable skills for academia and industry.
