Watch the closing remarks delivered by Ralph Pudritz from McMaster University at the "Planets on the Edge" conference held at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (KITP). This 18-minute talk concludes the four-day conference that brought together experts in exoplanet demographics, protoplanetary disks, planet formation models, and meteoritics. The conference addressed key questions about close-in rocky exoplanets discovered by Kepler and TESS missions, including their nature and atmospheres, formation mechanisms, governing parameters across star systems, and why similar planets don't exist in our solar system. The event complemented the associated KITP Program by synthesizing current knowledge, describing state-of-the-art models, fostering cross-disciplinary interactions, and charting future directions for observations, theory, and computational modeling.
