Observability of giant planets during the final stage of their formation

该项目的目标是得出可观测的量，以限制巨型原行星的存在和主要参数，以及它们在年轻的星周盘中形成期间的物理条件和过程。根据我们选定的证明这一项目可行性的预备研究，我们将考虑系外行星观测和行星种群综合研究所提出的广泛的行星和恒星质量以及星盘性质。这是一个及时的项目，因为在拟议的供资期间，将提供大型地面和空间观测站和仪器，预计它们将提供进行这些观测所需的空间分辨率、灵敏度和动态范围。使用我们最先进的3D磁流体动力学(MHD)和3D辐射传输程序，我们的目标是为观测验证巨行星形成后期阶段的理论模型提供必要的基础。

The goal of this project is to derive observable quantities which allow to constrain the existence and major parameters of giant protoplanets as well as the physical conditions and processes during their formation in young circumstellar disks. Based on our selected preparatory studies which demonstrate the feasibility of this project we will consider a broad range of planetary and stellar masses and circumstellar disk properties as suggested by exoplanet observations and planet population synthesis studies. This is a timely project as during the proposed funding period large ground-based and space observatories and instruments will become available which are expected to provide the spatial resolution, sensitivity, and dynamic range needed to perform these observations. Using our state-of-the-art 3D magneto-hydrodynamical (MHD) and 3D radiative transfer codes we aim at providing the basis necessary for the observational verification of theoretical models of the late stages of giant planet formation.
