A Multiwavelength View of the Dust of the Classical T Tauri Star BP Tau

This conference talk presents a multiwavelength analysis of dust surrounding the Classical T Tauri Star BP Tau, delivered by Marbely Micolta from the University of Michigan. Recorded during the "Planets on the Edge" conference at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (KITP) at UC Santa Barbara in May 2025, the presentation explores the characteristics of protoplanetary disks and their role in planet formation. Discover insights into how Earth-sized planets form in inner protoplanetary disks, addressing key questions about close-in rocky planets and their atmospheres, formation mechanisms, governing parameters across different star systems, and why our solar system lacks analogous planets. The talk contributes to a broader scientific discussion bringing together experts in exoplanet demographics, protoplanetary disks, planet formation models, and meteoritics to advance understanding of planetary systems. Part of a coordinated effort by Myriam Benisty, Eric Gaidos, Neal J. Turner, and Ruth Murray-Clay to synthesize current knowledge and catalyze interdisciplinary collaboration in this field.
