An Analysis of Planetary Gap Structures to Study Planetary Formation
PublicThe goal of this project was to analyze gap structures found in the proto-planetary disk around the star-HL Tauri. Data from the ALMA Radio Telescope was downloaded and analyzed using CARTA. A hypothesis was generated to predict the cause of the gaps. I generated plots to map observed gaps to the condensation fronts of particles commonly found in the proto-planetary disk of young stars.
