An international research team, led by Associate Professor Sarah Maddison, is studying the disks of dust that enfold newborn planets in order to better understand cosmic birth. To help spot newborn planets, Maddison's team has assembled a complex supercomputer model that simulates what happens when a planet is embedded in the disks of dust and gas that surround young stars.
