CU Boulder Planet Formation & Habitability Group

We study planetary habitability by looking at planetary systems as a whole and drawing connections between stars, disks, and planets. Right now, members of our group are considering: (1) Can we connect observed disk structure to unseen planets? (2) What is the imapct of stellar activity on planets and disks? And, (3) How to exoplanets inherit their composition from circumstellar disks?
