EEPS 673: PLANETARY FORMATION
Fall 2024 · Section 001 · CRN 16549
This course introduces students to the state-of-the art knowledge about the processes underlying the formation and evolution of planetary systems. This course will review basic ideas of orbital planetary dynamics and the different stages of planet formation. The course aims at developing important quantitative and qualitative skills to analyze and understand the main physical processes that operate in young planetary systems. The course will be guided by modern planet formation models using different tools and constraints from planetary physics, celestial mechanics, astronomical-observations, geochemistry, and cosmochemistry. Cross-list: EEPS 473. Recommended Prerequisite(s): MATH 101 and MATH 102 and MATH 211 or equivalents Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for EEPS 673 if student has credit for EEPS 473.
