Scientific Programme
Formation of disks, planets and planet-disk interactions
- Main processes in the evolution of protoplanetary disks and early planetary systems (gas-phase and dust)
- Dynamic evolution of disks and planetary systems
- Planet-disk interactions (shocks & heating, gaps & migration, signatures in molecular disk kinematics, lessons learned from Solar System)
- Evolution of protoplanet envelopes & planet atmospheres
Observations of planet-forming disks and exoplanets
- Observable imprints of the planet formation processes and planets onto disk structures
- Atomic and molecular spectroscopy (IR and optical) for astronomic observations
- Observations of dust and ices in disks (solid-state lines/bands
- Introduction into Molecular observations with JWST:
- Identifying molecules in protoplanetary discs with JWST
- Using molecules and indicators of properties and evolution
Exploration of structures and processes in planet-forming disks
- Molecular abundance in protoplanetary discs and dependence on different parameters (irradiation from the star, radius, distance from the disk plane/ecliptic)
- Laboratory methods investigating chemical processes relevant to planet formation
- Modelling of reaction networks in planet formation (data input quality, sensitivity, pitfalls)
Other practical exercises
- Observations at Ondrejov
- Using JWST of molecules in disks and exoplanets molecules and indicators of properties and evolution of disks and planets
- Modelling of protoplametary disks

Poster session
On two days poster sessions will be held. Poster dimensions should be max DIN A0 (84 x118 cm) in portrait format. Please use the provided magnets. No tape or pins please!
Poster sessions will be in the Marble Hall on the first floor of th castle.
There is a possibility to print posters. Posters to print should be sent to zdenkova@zamek-liblice.cz at least on Monday 6th April. The price for printing an A0 poster is is 1 480 CZK. You can pick up your poster then at the front desk of the hotel and pay there. This is, however, a service of the hotel and we cannot guarantee anything.
Other Programme Points
- Discussions
Social Programme
Last but not least, there will be a social programme. We plan
- A visit to Prague ”Prague for astronomers” with a visit to the Strahov monastery (with its famous library) the astronomy exhibition at Klementinum and a stroll through the city with a visit to the astronomy clock on Old Town Square followed by some spare time.
- A half day excursion to the beautiful town Mělnik with a visit to the ossuary, the church tower, the old city well and Lobkowicz castle.
