Jovian planets througout the 0.05-5 AU region.
And…
No strong preference for orbital distances… …except for a “pile up” of hot Jupiters at P~3 days.
Disk-star- and protoplanet interactions lead to migration while the gas is
- present. Core-
accretion & ice?
Why do we care about gas & ice in disks? Theory Observation?

Statistically, how long do gas/dust rich disks “survive”? Basic result: Disks dissipate within a few Myr, but with a large disp. for any SINGLE
- system. When
they go, however, the dissipation is FAST in comparison w/ disk “lifetime.”

How do we tie astronomy & meteorite timescales together?
How do disks evolve, REALLY?
This? Or this? Turbulent disks & stochastic migration.
Look at time to open a gap as compared to the viscous response time scale of the disk gas. Find: Planet mass needed to open gap:

Disk chemistry?
Depending on dust opacity, cores may spend a long time in the “plateau” phase before runaway gas accretion. Form cores closely spaced in higher density region.
Need spatially resolved measurements of disk gas & its composition.
Enter ALMA:
Llano de Chajnantor; 5000 m, good for astronomy, tough for humans!
Superb site & large array exceptional performance (50 12m telescopes, by 2012).
Dust simulation (L.G. Mundy), realistic phase errors, but no CLEAN/MEM.
When rings are seen around >10 Myr old stars… the dust must be made in place.
- CSO/HST have reached similar
conclusions about structure of the disk around Fomalhaut and how it is generated. Is there a planet required to maintain it?
