Dr. Charles Law -- All the Molecules in Protoplanetary Disks
About this episode
Dr. Charles Law discusses the formation of planets and the significance of radio astronomy in studying protoplanetary disks.
Just how much do we know about how the planets formed? How much of this can we learn from getting images of young solar systems? Why does it help to look at the disk using radio waves instead of optical wavelengths? Dr. Charles Law discusses these questions and more as we talk about radio astronomy and the birth of the solar system.
