Disks - Variability, Gaps & Protoplanets A Practical Guide
Young Pre-Main Sequence Disks Regenerated Debris Disks - replenished by collisions Older PMS Disks - grain growth & settling Zodiacal Light - Our Solar System Today
How do planetary systems form & evolve? Need to study the disk structures as a function of age.
Stars in the planet-formation phase? 2-20 Myr old

Exoplanets Hot Jupiters? Who ordered those?!
Okay, where did all the Hot Jupiters come from? Cannot form inside the snow/frost line Formed further out & migrated A nice little (8 MB) of one example, by Phil Armitage, U Colorado
Also, planetary scattering (Nice model...) Bottom line: current locations of exoplanets may have little to do with where they formed. Late Heavy Bombardment but LHB disputed...
