Formation of Large Parent Bodies in the Early Solar System

Explore a 17-minute conference talk by Vinciane Debaille from the Université Libre de Bruxelles on the formation of large parent bodies in the early solar system. Recorded during the "Planets on the Edge" conference at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (KITP) at UC Santa Barbara in May 2025, this presentation contributes to discussions about Earth-sized planets in inner protoplanetary disks. The conference brought together experts in exoplanet demographics, protoplanetary disks, planet formation models, and meteoritics to address key questions about close-in rocky planets: their nature and atmospheres, formation processes, governing parameters across star systems, and why similar planets don't exist in our solar system. The talk is part of KITP's broader initiative to synthesize knowledge about planets and inner disks, advance theoretical models, foster cross-disciplinary collaboration, and guide future research in observations and computational modeling.
