Modelling photo-evaporation in planet forming discs by Barbara Ercolano et al. on Monday 21 November
Planets are born from the gas and dust discs surrounding young stars.
Energetic radiation from the central star can drive thermal outflows from the
discs atmospheres, strongly affecting the evolution of the discs and the
nascent planetary system. In this context several numerical models of varying
complexity have been developed to study the process of disc photoevaporation
from their central stars. We describe the numerical techniques, the results and
the predictivity of current models and identify observational tests to
constrain them.
