The course will give a short overview on the formation of planets and
planetary systmems in the
planetesimal and the core accretion hypothesis. The main topics are:
- observational evidences, the diversity of planetary systems;
- a special case: the Solar System;
- observation, characterization, and physics of protoplanetary accretion
disks;
- formation of planetesimals by coagulation of dust particles, the meter
size barrier;
- the growth of planetesimals (runaway and oligarchic growth);
- formation of terrestrial planets;
- formation of giant planets;
- disk-planet and planet-planet interactions, migration of planets in gas
and planetesimal disks;
