Early phases of planetary birth sites -- environmental context and interstellar inheritance
The aim of this ambitious research project is to produce the most realistic computer simulations of the assembly of gaseous protoplanetary accretion discs, and to understand which of their traits are inherited from and/or affected by their direct interstellar context. Owing to ground-breaking instruments such as VLT/Sphere or the ALMA telescope array, we now have a first extensive census of disk populations. Moving beyond the core characterisation of relatively isolated disks in the calm Class II stage, the time has come to shift the focus towards the wider context of these systems, that is, the actively star-forming stellar associations, such as the archetypal Taurus, Orion or Lupus…
