The best single source for review articles on star and planet formation
is the Protostars and Planets series. The most recent meeting
in this series was Protostars and Planets V (held in Fall 2005), and many reviews from
that meeting are available online.
Protostars and Planets IV
is available but expensive, while for reviews in Protostars and Planets III you'll
need to find a library.
The following articles provide an overview of much of what we'll be discussing: Evolution of Circumstellar Disks Around Normal Stars: Placing Our Solar System in Context (Meyer et al.) - observational review of the evolution of protoplanetary disks Models of the Structure and Evolution of Protoplanetary Disks (Dullemond et al.) - theoretical review of disk evolution, though with an emphasis on models of observational properties Growth of Dust as the Initial Step Toward Planet Formation (Dominik et al.) From grains to planetesimals: Les Houches Lecture (Youdin) Gravitational Instabilities in Gaseous Protoplanetary Disks and Implications for Giant Planet Formation (Durisen et al.) Disk-Planet Interactions During Planet Formation (Papaloizou et al.) Observed Properties of Exoplanets: Masses, Orbits, and Metallicities (Marcy et al.) Planet Formation (Lissauer) - this old (1993) review predates the discovery of extrasolar planets, but it remains the best summary of the `big picture' of planet formation |
