The first speaker will be Prof Simon Goodwin on the topic of Star and Planet Formation, followed by Roger Dymock giving an Exoplanet Division update.

Prof Simon Goodwin is a Professor of Theoretical Astrophysics at the University of Sheffield. He works on star formation and stellar dynamics – especially interactions between stars when they are young.

The first few million years of a star’s life are crucial. We’ll look at how stars form from clouds of gas, and how planets form around them when they are very young. This is an area full of interesting physics and chemistry (and maybe even biology).
