Protoplanetary discs in different environments

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Planet formation and the evolution of protoplanetary discs depend on the characteristics of their surrounding environment. In particular, external photoevaporation driven by nearby massive stars, gravitational interactions with low-mass cluster members, and late-stage accretion all impact the properties and dispersal of protoplanetary discs. In this talk, I will review the physics behind these processes, the observational evidence, and theoretical predictions. I will also discuss how new and upcoming instruments will allow us to explore the feedback from highly energetic star-forming environments, which are located at great distances and are subject to high levels of extinction and stellar density.
