Astro Seminar: Chemical and Physical Properties of Early Disks with ALMA and JWST

Recent observations by ALMA suggest that planets begin forming much earlier in the lifecycle of stellar systems than previously thought, challenging our common assumption that most of planet formation occurs in mature protoplanetary disks. I will explore how planet formation in the early stages influences the observable properties of early disks. Additionally, using models and observations from ALMA and JWST, I will examine the physical and chemical makeup of this earlier stage.
