This project will generate a novel model where planets emerge from gas expelled during interactions between dying stars, rather than forming around young stars. It relies on unique multi-wavelength, high-angular resolution observations of planet-forming disks around dying stars and simulations of disk formation. This research will provide unprecedented insight into the uncertain process of planet formation around young stars and inform future space exploration missions. The project's benefits include generating new knowledge, enhancing Australia's reputation in stellar and planetary astrophysics, inspiring STEM interest, and training researchers in machine/deep learning and hydrodynamic modelling - valuable skills for academia and industry.

该项目将产生一个新颖的模型，其中行星是由垂死恒星之间相互作用过程中排出的气体形成的，而不是在年轻恒星周围形成的。它依赖于对垂死恒星周围行星形成盘的独特的多波长、高角分辨率观测以及盘形成的模拟。这项研究将为年轻恒星周围行星形成的不确定过程提供前所未有的见解，并为未来的太空探索任务提供信息。该项目的好处包括产生新知识、提高澳大利亚在恒星和行星天体物理学方面的声誉、激发 STEM 兴趣以及培训机器/深度学习和流体动力学建模方面的研究人员（这对学术界和工业界来说是宝贵的技能）。
