Exploring the pristine conditions for transforming interstellar dust into planetesimals
The formation and properties of exoplanetary systems is a fascinating question, which has been at the heart of our quest to define mankind and the conditions for life to develop in a broader context. Recent astronomical observations have deeply modified our paradigm of planet formation, as they suggest the so-called "proto-planetary” disks surrounding T-Tauri stars may actually already host planets. Moreover, we have obtained some of the first observational clues that the dust particles contained in the pristine disk-forming reservoirs that are the embedded protostars may already have significantly evolved from the submicronic dust populating the interstellar medium. These results suggest…
