Reviews latest star-disk interaction region in young stars for graduate students and researchers.
IAU S243 reviews recent developments in understanding the structure and evolution of the star-disk interaction region in young stars. The latest observational results, computer simulations and theoretical developments are included, providing a unique review of this topic that is ideal for graduate students and researchers.Stars form surrounded by a circumstellar disk which is thought to be the cradle of planets. IAU Symposium 243 highlights the latest developments in understanding the structure and evolution of the star-disk interaction region in young stars, a critical component of our knowledge of star and planetary system formation processes. Discussions review the physical processes thought to be at work at the star-disk interface, confront the predictions of the latest numerical and analytical magnetohydrodynamic models of star-disk-jet systems with observations, and explore the consequences of these processes for stellar angular momentum evolution and inner disk structure. The most recent observational results, computer simulations and theoretical developments in this active field of research are included to provide a unique vision into this central aspect of the star and planet formation problem.
