Piecing Together the Elements of Planetary System Formation
As the observational data accumulates, it is becoming possible
to place quantitative constraints on the role different physical processes
play in the formation and evolution of planetary systems. I will discuss
constraints on the role of tidal dissipation in the emplacement of hot
Jupiters and on the assembly of multiple planetary systems observed by
the Kepler spacecraft.
