Stellar-MADE Project
Exploring the effects of Stellar Multiplicity on planet formation Across Disc Evolution.
ERC Starging Grant: October 2022 - September 2027.
Project hosted at IPAG (Grenoble, France).
Members of the team:
- Nicolás Cuello (Principal Investigator, IPAG)
- Antoine Alaguero (PhD Student, IPAG)
Goals of this project:
- Establish the formation channels of protoplanetary discs around young stellar objects;
- Follow disc dynamics and grain growth to identify the regions of planetesimal formation;
- Characterise planetary architectures and the resulting exoplanet population.
Journal club: Discs & Planets in Multiple Stellar Systems
Every Wednesday at 14h30 (CET) we meet online through Zoom to discuss recent interesting articles from the arXiv with the available collaborators of the Stellar-MADE project.
We have 2 presentations per meeting:
- a long version (15-20 min): detailed discussion;
- a short one (5 min): quick update / 1-2 slides.
For more information, follow this link: Stellar-MADE journal club.
Feel free to get in touch if you are interested.
