Watch a 20-minute conference talk by Zhaohuan Zhu from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, presenting 3-D MHD simulations of magnetospheric accretion and their implications for close-in young planets. This presentation was recorded during the "Planets on the Edge" conference held at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics at UC Santa Barbara in May 2025. The conference brought together experts in exoplanet demographics, protoplanetary disks, planet formation models, and meteoritics to address key questions about close-in rocky planets discovered by Kepler and TESS missions. Learn about the nature of these Earth-sized planets that have no direct counterparts in our Solar System, their formation processes, governing parameters across different star systems, and why similar planets don't exist around our Sun.
