Revolutionizing our View of Disk and Multiple Star Formation: New Frontiers Explored by ALMA and the VLA

Event Start:

Event End:

Event Information:

Protostellar disks are thought to form early in the star-formation process due to conservation of angular momentum. These disks are the future sites of planet formation, but may also be the sites of binary/multiple star formation if the disk is massive enough to be gravitationally unstable. There is now growing evidence that a substantial amount of disk evolution takes place during the protostellar phase and that these embedded, protostellar disks may be the true initial conditions of planet formation.
