Final Report Summary - PLANETARYSYSTEMS (Planets - The Solar System and Beyond)
We have studied many aspects of planet formation and evolutions.
From interaction between planetary embryos in a young stellar disk to collisions of asteroids and Kuiper Belt Objects in the current solar system.
We discovered the smallest bodies in the Kuiper Belt allowing to understand collisional cascade, a process which we argue is essential in planet formation.
Unexpectedly, we found similarities between some planetary dynamics to physical processes taking place next to the black hole in the galactic center.
