Astronomy & Astrophysics Seminar: Appling Solar System Knowledge to Astrophysics Problems

Zoom: https://tau-ac-il.zoom.us/j/81239615480?pwd=qynx9sGBcqWlo2fNUEbZrq1VibGgwM.1

Abstract:

Solar system observations, including high-resolution, high-cadence measurements, as well as in-situ measurements have provided vast knowledge about the Sun and the solar system planets. Such data is typically not available for astrophysical systems and exoplanets. Applying solar system knowledge to study astrophysical systems allows to approach these problems in a more realistic, less simplified manner. In my talk, I will present two examples for such an approach. I will present results for atmospheric heating in terrestrial exoplanets, and for the interaction between the inner part of protoplanetary disk and the stellar corona. I will highlight in both cases how more realistic view may change our perspective on these systems.
