Probing Planet Formation Among Nearby Young Stars

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The recent identification of several groups of young stars within 100 parsecs of the Sun has generated widespread interest. Given their proximity and possible age differences, these systems are ideally suited for detailed studies of disk evolution and planet formation. Here I discuss recent results and prospects for the near-future.
