Presentation

This series of lectures and seminars will explore the early phases of the formation of the inner solar system, for which a great deal of information is available through asteroids and their fragments, which from time to time reach the Earth in the form of meteorites. Meteorites tell us about the evolution of the protoplanetary disk, as well as the formation and evolution of the first macroscopic bodies, called planetesimals, which were the building blocks for the formation of the telluric planets, and of which asteroids are the survivors.
