COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: Understanding Protoplanetary Disk Winds and Planet Interactions via Disk Emission Lines

这个合作项目结合了理论和观测工作来研究星周盘风、演化和扩散。他们将分析处于不同演化阶段的恒星周围的55个圆盘的高分辨率光学和红外光谱，以约束行星形成的热化学和二维流体动力学模型。大多数必要的数据都已到手，新的观测计划将使用大型光学望远镜，如多镜望远镜、大型双筒望远镜和其他天文台。更广泛的影响培养本科生和研究生的研究和专业发展的科学和数学教师。该研究小组还将向公众做报告，包括在SETI研究所的广播节目《科学大图》中做报告。

This collaborative project combines theoretical and observational work to study circumstellar disk winds, evolution and dispersal. They will analyze high resolution optical and infrared spectra of 55 disks around stars that are at different stages of evolution in order to constrain thermochemical and 2-D hydrodynamical models of planet formation. Most of the necessary data are in hand, and new observations are planned with large optical telescopes, such as the Multiple-Mirror Telescope, Large Binocular Telescope and other observatories.Broader impacts training undergraduate and graduate students in research and professional development of science and math teachers. The research team will also make presentations to the public, including on an episode of the SETI Institute radio show Big Picture Science.
