Star and Planet Formation
Resarch group led by Prof. Manuel Güdel
Who are we?
The Star and Planet Formation group was formed in 2010 at the Department of Astrophysics, and is led by Prof. Manuel Güdel.
We are part of a collaboration between three related groups at our department named Stars, Planets, Exoplanets & Discs (SPE&D), together with the Exoplanet Atmospheres and Solar System Evolution groups.
Our group covers several topics related to the evolution of stellar systems. These include protoplanetary disks, one of the earliest stages of stellar systems, and debris disks, the remnants of of planet formation. We also study the atmospheres of planets and how they are influenced by their host stars.
