Le thème de la formation planétaire est au cœur de deux axes scientifiques au LAM, respectivement sur les planètes extrasolaires et notre système solaire en particulier.
The study of planetary formation is of paramount importance to answer fundamental scientific questions on how planets and habitable planets form, how Earth formed, how life appeared on Earth, and more generally where do we come from ? The paradigm of planetary formation has been revolutionized in the last 20 years, since the first detection of an exoplanet around 51 Peg b. Following this detection, models for planetary formation have been completely revised, including those for our solar system.
