Colloquium: The impact of environment on protoplanetary disks and planet formation

Dr. Tom Haworth (Queen Mary University of London) will discuss how planet formation happens in different types of environments

There is growing evidence that planet-forming disks around young stars can be affected by their wider star forming environment. This environmental impact takes many forms, from chemical inheritance, to gravitational encounters, ``late’’ infall from molecular clouds and external photoevaporation. The latter is my main focus, wherein UV radiation from massive stars heats and disperses the disk from the outside in. The pace of study of environmental effects has accelerated drastically in recent years. I will to provide an overview of the aforementioned environmental processes and how they interplay. In particular I will also highlight how external irradiation may affect planet formation and disc composition.
