Celebrating 30 Years of Protoplanetary Disk Chemistry: past, present, and future
- Start: Feb 19, 2024
- End: Feb 23, 2024
- Location: Schloss Ringberg
- Host: Anne Dutrey (LAB/Bordeaux University), Thomas Henning (MPIA), Dmitry Semenov (MPIA), Catherine Walsh (Leeds University)
- Contact: semenov@mpia.de
The aim of the workshop is to bring together around 50 researchers working on various aspects of protoplanetary disk chemistry including observations, modelling, and experiments in conjunction with researchers working on chemistry in the interstellar medium, star and disk formation and evolution, and planet formation.
Our goals are to reflect on the stellar (pardon the pun) increase in our
knowledge in this field over the past 30 years, and to discuss open
questions, how to bring together the wealth of observations available to
understand how chemistry impacts, and is impacted by, star and planet
formation, and how to leverage current, planned, and future
observatories. We plan to dedicate plenty of time in the schedule to
discussion, both in a formal and informal setting, which is well
facilitated by Schloss Ringberg. There will also be a small celebration
of the 20-year anniversary of the “Chemistry In Disks” collaboration led
by Anne Dutrey and Thomas Henning.
