| Abstract: |
Cool M dwarfs outnumber sun-like G stars by ten to one in the solar
neighborhood. Due to their proximity, small size, and low mass, M-dwarf stars are
becoming attractive targets for exoplanet searches via almost all current search
methods. But what planetary systems can form around M dwarfs?
Following up on the Cool Stars 16 Splinter Session “Planet Formation Around M Dwarfs”, we summarize here our knowledge
of protoplanetary disks around cool stars, how they disperse, what planetary systems
might form and can be detected with current and future instruments. |
