Planetary accretion and migration in discs over all ages
The goal of this ERC proposal is to make significant progress in our understanding how planetary systems form in protoplanetary discs. In this ambitious research programme I will answer these three key questions: How does the dust size distribution affect the evolution of ice lines and initial formation location of planetesimals? How do growing planets migrate in protoplanetary discs? How does the disc evolution affect the formation and composition of planetary systems? I will tackle these questions using a combination of novel ideas and computer simulations in which I will model the three before mentioned connected key stages of planet formation. The disc evolution model will incorporate…
