Over 5000 exoplanets have been discovered, demonstrating that planet formation is a robust and widespread process. But we do not know how these planets, including those in our solar system, formed. Our group at Monash pioneered a new technique for detecting "baby" planets --- observed still embedded in the disc of gas and dust from which they are born. The project aims to characterise the youngest detected exoplanets with the world's largest telescopes, including time already awarded on the James Webb Space Telescope. We will image these planets, and model their birth in 3D. The project will develop state of the art computer algorithms for simulating fluid flow and data analysis technics that can be applied to problems here on Earth.

已经发现了超过5000个系外行星，证明行星形成是一个强大而广泛的过程。 但是我们不知道这些行星，包括太阳系中的行星是如何形成的。 我们在莫纳什（Monash）的小组开创了一种用于检测“婴儿”行星的新技术 - 观察到的仍然嵌入了它们出生的气体和灰尘盘中。该项目旨在用世界上最大的望远镜来表征最年轻的远程行星，包括在詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜上授予的​​时间。我们将对这些行星进行图像，并以3D为单位。该项目将开发出最先进的计算机算法，以模拟流体流量和数据分析技术，这些技术可以应用于地球上的问题。
