- Summary
- "Origins of Giant Planets is a comprehensive overview of giant planet formation aimed at new researchers in the field. With the capability of the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to push the mass limit for direct imaging of young planets down to Saturn's scale, as well as its unprescedented ability to image indirect indicators of forming giant planets, observations within the next ten years are likely to bring meaningful constraints to models of giant planet formation. These books will delineate the parts of giant planet formation theory that are well understood and the parts that still have significant uncertainty. Volume one covers protoplanetary disk theory, dynamics of planet-forming dust and ice, collisional grain growth, and planetesimal formation. All theoretical models are benchmarked against empirical knowledge gleaned from disc observations, laboratory research, meteoriticws, and solar system dynamics."--Cover page 4.
