Planet formation studies uniquely benefit from three disciplines:
astronomical observations of extrasolar planet-forming disks,
analysis of material from the early Solar System, and laboratory
astrophysics experiments. Pre-planetary solids, fine dust, and
chondritic components are central elements linking these studies.
This book is the first comprehensive overview of planet formation,
in which astronomers, cosmochemists, and laboratory astrophysicists
jointly discuss the latest insights from the Spitzer and Hubble
space telescopes, new interferometers, space missions including
Stardust and Deep Impact, and laboratory techniques. Following the
evolution of solids from their genesis through protoplanetary disks
to rocky planets, the book discusses in detail how the latest
results from these disciplines fit into a coherent picture. This
volume provides a clear introduction and valuable reference for
students and researchers in astronomy, cosmochemistry, laboratory
astrophysics, and planetary sciences.
