1st PlanetS workshop on Bayesian Statistics
Thank you! The organisers would like to thank the speakers and all participants of the workshop for a very fruitful meeting. See you again soon for the second workshop in the series. The video recording of the talks can be found here. You can skip between talks using the bookmarks on the left hand menu. ===== Data analysis is a central part of the scientific method. The discovery and characterisation of exoplanets requires sophisticated statistical methods, to extract weak planetary signals…

NCCR Inter-Project Meeting #1: Planet Formation by Pebble Accretion
The first of NCCR inter-project meeting will be devoted to planet formation by pebbles accretion, and related topics, including: – theoretical models of planet formation by pebbles accretion – thermal and chemical evolution of pebbles during their drift in the protoplanetary disk – cosmo-chemical constraints on the origin of material forming the inner bodies of planetary systems (in particular solar system) – theoretical models of pebble formation – dust/solid observations in protoplanetary disks – any other related topics. The meeting will…
