Scope of the School:
The 2020 Heidelberg Summer School will focus on different aspects of planet formation in Protoplanetary Disks.
The following questions will be addressed during this school:
- How do planets interact with Protoplanetary Disks?
- How does radiative transfer in disks work?
- What do protoplanetary discs look like and what are they made of?
- How do planets form?
- What can we learn from exoplanets?
Five distinguished invited lecturers, along with an assortment of local experts, provided an introduction to the field with an emphasis on applications.
In addition to the formal lectures, there were problem-solving sessions, career discussions, and a variety of social activities. The 2021 Heidelberg Summer School did focus on the most relevant aspects of stellar astrophysics, insofar they are relevant for the interaction of stars with each other, and with their planetary systems.
School format
Our schools have four main components spread throughout the week
1. A series of structured lectures given by the invited lecturers.
2. Problem-solving sessions based on the topics given in the lectures.
3. Presentations by local experts to open specific scientific problems.
Canceled (Covid): 4. A social program to enable and encourage scientific interaction between students, lecturers and speakers.
