From Dust to Planets: A Novel Approach to Constrain Dust Growth and the Planet Forming Zone in Disks
Exoplanets are frequent around Solar-like stars, as shown by Large Surveys. They are formed by the growth of dust and accumulation of gas contained in protoplanetary disks surrounding young stars. To form planets, the classic Core-Accretion scenario is the main framework today, but it appears to be too slow given the short lifetimes of disks. Theoretical additions to Core-Accretion exist to speed it up. They all hypothesize that disks contain a massive, dense, and flat layer of pebbles in the midplane. The validation of these scenarios will be impossible as long as the disk properties remain uncertain. The first objective of this project is to provide the first direct observational…
