Funded Activity Summary

Cosmic Renaissance: The Last Chance for Planet Formation Around Dying Stars. This project will generate a novel model where planets emerge from gas expelled during interactions between dying stars, rather than forming around young stars. It relies on unique multi-wavelength, high-angular resolution observations of planet-forming disks around dying stars and simulations of disk formation. This research will provide unprecedented insight into the uncertain process of planet formation around young stars and inform future space exploration missions. The project's benefits include generating new knowledge, enhancing Australia's reputation in stellar and planetary astrophysics, inspiring STEM interest, and training researchers in machine/deep learning and hydrodynamic modelling - valuable skills for academia and industry.
